Punjab Assembly Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan has urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to amend the Arms Act to allow Punjab arms licences to be valid in Chandigarh.
(File)Punjab Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan Thursday urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to make necessary amendments in the Arms Act to include Chandigarh in the arms license jurisdiction for Punjab residents.
“I am writing to highlight the need for some amendments under the Arms Act.
As per the existing norms, Punjab residents must apply for separate endorsement or permission to carry licensed arms in Chandigarh, which creates unnecessary bureaucratic delays and inconvenience.
When Punjab residents apply for an arms license, the jurisdiction is limited to the state of Punjab only.
