All the arms licenses issued by the Interior Ministry will expire on September 1 because of reports of their alleged misuse and malpractices in the issuance process. Reports have suggested that in many case there are multiple entries against one arm license.
The issue was discussed at length in a meeting chaired by Interior Minister Rehman Malik in Karachi here on Monday. Malik appreciated the efforts by the police and Rangers to restore peace in Karachi. The meeting advised the license holders to approach NADRA offices for new arm licenses designed specially to curb the misuse. It was also decided that all the licenses that were not issued by NADRA would be considered cancelled and the arms illegal. A stern action was also proposed against those who would be found carrying any weapon without license.
I have submitted application for revalidation of arm license which is approved as free of fees for being a govt servant,I hope the new license will be issued with the already approved facilities.
