The Deputy Commissioner Churachandpur has today directed all license arms holders in the district to surrender their arms to the nearest police stations by March 20, 2019 to ensure smooth conduct of the upcoming 17th Lok Sabha Election.
The Magistrate order issued today said all license arms stand suspended with immediate effect as there is apprehension of possible misuse of license arms by display or actual use thereof during campaigning or otherwise.
It also said that there is inadequate time to assess the threat emanating from every individual license arms, which stands at a staggering 3070 units, as such all the license arms in the district are included in the order.
The period of the licence suspension will stand until one week after the declaration of election results, it added.
The order said any process of arms matter shall not be entertained until the completion of the said election.
