DMP to assign tenant ID numbers

The commissioner said: “When a tenant moves to a new apartment, the landlord will give the police the tenant ID number so we can keep track of who lives where.” He also informed that two million tenant information has been already collected which the police will verify by going to each apartment and checking if the information provided is correct. This tenant information will then be uploaded into the database and to the beat police and also be available at the DMP website, he added. the Commissioner said that the block raids are a continuous process in curbing militancy and terrorism. He said:“The police have been strictly instructed to not harass people in any way during the block raids.” “If people are being deliberately harassed by the police then they should immediately inform us and strict action will be taken against the official,” he added. The issue of tenant information being unavailable was highlighted after the Holey Artisan Bakery attack on July 1 as it turned out that some of the attackers had rented apartments without filling out the previously distributed tenant information forms given by the DMP.
