Sindh govt imposed ban on issuing new weapon licenses
The Sindh government has imposed a ban on new arms licenses being issued in the province.
The provincial government has also decided to run a drive against illegal weapons, while the record of arms sold during the last five years has also been summoned.
Old licenses will also have to be verified.
This decision was made in order to improve the current law and order situation in the province, particularly Karachi.
During the ongoing targeted operation in Karachi, Rangers and police have seized huge caches of illegal arms and ammunition.
The Supreme Court while hearing the Karachi law and order case also took notice of ports in the city being used to smuggle illegal weapons.
