The State Home Dept has directed the Deputy
Commissioner, Churachandpur to issue notice to all license gun
holders not to misuse licensed weapons like giving gun salute and
to deposit their license along with the weapon to the nearest PS
immediately.
In a crash message to DC, Churachandpur, Addi-
tional Chief Secretary, Dr J Suresh Babu said gun licenses are
granted only for self protection of license holder and not for any
other purposes.
Misuse of licensed weapon is illegal and will be
liable for cancellation of gun license.
All licenses of those misus-
ing the license weapons or those who fail to deposit to the nearest
PS will be cancelled.
The directive is issued in reference to the DC's letter
regarding the proposal of the JAC against 'anti-tribal' Bills to
give gun salute using licensed guns on March 18 .
