Could you possibly look for obsolete words and edit the language to native in the following news items, please?

Even a fortnight after the state cabinet's decision to let civic bodies decide on the contentious issue of continuing with local body tax, LBT, or restore octroi, the city municipality has not received any notification from the urban development department to this effect.

Police have booked a landlord for allegedly molesting a 28-year-old tenant at 'locality name' on Saturday morning. Accused, 'some name', a resident of 'locality name', is absconding.

Four unidentified men broke into a house in the wee hours on Monday morning and decamped with valuables worth 10,000.
