Dear Goanet Readers, In my opinion the State Government of Goa must take immediate steps to ensure that no premises, residential or commercial are leased out to anyone without first obtaining the NOC - No Objection Certificate from the Police Department like it is done in Mumbai.
There is a form to be filled up with photographs of the owner leasing the property, the person taking the lease, and the estate agent or person introducing the tenant. Copies are retained with photographs of all concerned at the Police Station.Owners and Cooperative Societies have to follow this as a law failing which they could be prosecuted as per the law. It would be in the interest of all concerned if, it is followed strictly. Hotels & Motels would also have to follow some sort of ID for tourists both local & international which can be checked by authorities if the need arises. All should be extra security conscious in these trying circumstances. Thanks & Regards Donald A. Dsilva P.O.
