Gurgaon Police Crackdown on Foreigner Lodging Rules
The police in Gurgaon are making sure that people who rent out rooms or run hotels report when foreign visitors stay with them.
They need to fill out a special form called Form C within 24 hours.
This is to help keep the country safe and keep track of who is visiting.
The police are doing this extra check because of the upcoming Republic Day celebration on January 26.
It's important for everyone to follow these rules to make sure everything is safe and secure.
Gurgaon police have intensified enforcement against non-compliance with rules for lodging foreign nationals.
Cases have been registered against dozens of flat owners and commercial accommodations for not reporting foreign stays.
Checks have been heightened ahead of Republic Day on January 26 to strengthen security.
Hotels, guest houses, homestays, and private flat owners must submit Form C within 24 hours of a foreign national's arrival.
Form C is required under the Foreigners Act, 1946, and the Registration of Foreigners Rules, 1992, for national security and immigration tracking.
