Employers are also required to record fingerprints in the register and submit the entire record immediately to the nearest police station or post.House and shop owners, occupants, or those in charge must similarly register details of tenants—past, present, or future—with the local police station or post, including names and full addresses.The DM has banned the felling of green mango, neem, peepal, and ber trees in de-listed areas within district limits.
