Govt to return licensed arms to owners


A government handout yesterday said the deputy commissioners (DC) have been asked to return licensed firearms and ammunition deposited during Nov 5-21 last year to their owners.

Specific guidelines to the DCs have been given to return the firearms, the handout added.

Out of total 1,89,000 licensed firearms, 36,000 were deposited following a government order in Novembers last year.
