Hotels have been asked to upload information regarding guests staying there on SARAI App lcunched by the police as part of efforts to prevent criminals from hiding. Hotels are required to update the information about their guests every day.
The raids were conducted on Monday to crosscheck whether correct information is being provided on the App and if all were adhering to the guidelines under SARAI.
All the hotels have been asked to download SARAI App and furnish detailed information regarding guests. This will act as a data base and provide information about criminal antecedents of people staying in different hotels.
During the verification, which has been intensified, police will take strict action against hotels that did not provide information through SARAI App.
Checking has also been intensified at hotels which are yet to get registered in SARAI App.
