Divulging the details, the Deputy Commissioner said that it has come to his notice that many people in the district have rented out their properties to unauthorized travel agents so that they could run their business, however, in some cases these agents change their offices after duping people of hefty amounts. He further said it was need of the hour that property to be given only to authorized agents so as to protect innocent people from falling prey to their lucrative offers.
