rules for running PG
Before running any PG, it is necessary for the operators to get registration from the local body.

Hygiene and safety standards
Apart from registration, PG has to follow cleanliness and health standards. That means it is necessary for the PG operator to ensure regular cleaning and maintenance. Apart from this, it is also necessary to have security measures in PG like CCTV cameras, fire safety equipment and emergency exits. If negligence is found in any of these things, then the registration of the PG can be canceled and a case can also be registered against the PG owner for endangering the lives of people.
