MANALI: Befriending foreign nationals and offering them one-night accommodations in houses can put owners in trouble as Himachal Police is keeping a close watch over people to check if they are filling the C-form, a registration form for foreigners, to collect information about guest from abroad.
As the number of foreigners visiting Himachal is increasing every year, police have taken this safety measure for their safe stay here, said a police officer.
Most of the foreigners prefer staying in guest houses while many of them stay in villages along with the local families. Apart from providing safety to foreigners, filling of C-form provides necessary information about visitor in case of some untoward incident.
According to Manali superintendent of police Sanjeev Chauhan, they have booked a villager who offered accommodation to foreign national but did not fill C-form. "Police are warning people here to fill the form - either online or manually - for safety of both tourists and themselves," he said.
