Days after taking charge as the first special commissioner of the Mumbai police, Deven Bharti has issued an order making some important changes to the guidelines regarding the information tenants provide to cops. Sources have said that the decision was taken to prevent crimes and ensure that the police have up-to-date information about tenants living in the city. 

As per the order, the police no-objection certificate (NOC) is not required for renting flats and houses. The police will issue a barcode that will help tenants get details on the website of the city police.
