A day after an association in Acharya Vihar here issued a notice asking local house owners to oust student tenants in the area, Commissioner of Police (CP) Sudhanshu Sarangi has clarified that no such direction has been issued by the State Government to the house owners for preventing coronavirus outbreak.
The association’s notice read, “As per the Government directives, we are requesting you to vacate your premises given to the students on rent without any further delay.”
Srangi tweeted, “No direction has been given either by the State Government or the Police asking house owners to remove tenants to prevent COVID-19 outbreak. The individual has admitted his mistake. We are looking into possible legal action.”
