| Complete verification of arms licences by Feb 15 | | | Agencies
PATNA, Jan 16: Arms licensees in Bihar have been asked to deposit their guns to the local police station or the competent authorities if such licences were issued from other states and verification was pending. The state home department issued a circular to this effect, mentioning that the verification must be done by February 15. The department has also called for strict compliance with a standard operating procedure for verification of arms licences.
The move aims at curbing the inflow of illegal arms from Jammu and Kashmir, Nagaland and other northeastern states, it said.
The home department has also asked district magistrates (DMs) to strictly enforce a complete ban on celebratory gunfire in the state.
"All DMs must ensure that the verification of weapon licences issued from other states must be completed by February 15 by the firearm owners. Firearm owners, whose licences have not been verified, must deposit their weapons to the nearest police station or the competent authority till the verification is completed by February 15," the home department letter said.
