Noida society asks unmarried couple living on rent to submit family consent
Noida, Jan 31 (PTI): The president a high-rise society in sector 99 has asked the owners who have rented flats to bachelors or couples to submit a marriage certificate or a consent letter from their family.
The move came after the death of a 23-year-old law student, who fell to death from the 7th floor of the Supreme Tower society in Sector 99 on January 11 of this year. A probe is on in the matter.
However, SS Kushwaha, Secretary of the Supreme Towers Apartment Owners Association (STAOA) said, "That is not the opinion of the board, V N Subramaniam President has circulated it on his own."
V N Subramaniam, the president of the Supreme Towers society's Apartment Owners Association, sent an email to flat owners on January 21, in which he asked all flat owners to submit the said documents to the association's office on or before January 31.
The email states, "Flat owners renting to bachelors (boys or girls) must ensure submission of detailed information, including addresses and approvals from family members. And if bachelors are cohabiting with members of the opposite gender, they must submit either a marriage certificate or a formal approval letter from their family."
"These measures are implemented in the interest of safety, security, and maintaining harmony in the community," it mentioned further.
One of the staff, on the conditions of anonymity, said that it is a good decision to avoid the nuisance created by the bachelors in the society.
"Bachelors provide fake certificates of their parents and on that basis they become tenants. And after some time some mishaps occur," he said, adding that it is a good decision, because it will stop "unnecessary nuisance in the society".
An LLB student, who lives in the society, said, "They should also focus on the security checks and give warnings to those who create nuisance at night. It will reduce unnecessary nuisance created by some tenants and would also not impact others, those who are living peacefully."
"There are various incidents that occurred in the past. I live with my friends and comply with the rules and regulations, I have no issue," added another student who lives in Tower 3 of the society.
Talking to PTI, Kushwaha said, "That is not the opinion of the board, the President has circulated it, on its own. There is no resolution to that effect by the board, so that is the official stand of the board."

Trump says EU has until July 4 to approve last year's trade deal or it will face higher tariffs
Washington (AP): President Donald Trump has said in a social media post that goods from the European Union would face higher tariff rates if the 27-member bloc fails to approve last year's trade framework by July 4.
The announcement on Thursday appeared to be a deadline extension after the president said last Friday that EU autos would face a higher 25 per cent tariff starting this week. Trump made the updated announcement after what he described as a "great call" with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Still, the US president was displeased that the European Parliament had yet to finalize the trade arrangement reached last year, which was further complicated in February by the US Supreme Court ruling that Trump lacked the legal authority to declare an economic emergency to impose the initial tariffs used to pressure the EU into talks.
"A promise was made that the EU would deliver their side of the Deal and, as per Agreement, cut their Tariffs to ZERO!" Trump posted. "I agreed to give her until our Country's 250th Birthday or, unfortunately, their Tariffs would immediately jump to much higher levels."
It was unclear from the post whether Trump was implying that the tariff rates would jump on all EU goods or the increase would only apply to autos.
His latest statement indicates he might be backing away from his earlier threat on EU autos by giving the European Parliament several more weeks to approve the agreement.
Under the original terms of the framework, the US would charge a 15 per cent tax on most goods imported from the EU.
But since the Supreme Court ruling, the administration has levied a 10 per cent tariff while investigating trade imbalances and national security issues, aiming to put in new tariffs to make up for lost revenues.
