The directive was issued during a recent screening committee meeting.
The order specifically targets individuals, including those released on bail, persons previously involved in riots, especially during election periods, individuals whose weapons might be misused due to political interests, influential members in villages, and persons likely to participate in election processes or political campaigns.
The committee determined that if arms license holders actively participate in political campaigns or election processes, it could affect their villages, residential areas, or work zones.
Therefore, orders have been issued to collect weapons from such license holders, including those of deceased permit holders.
The police department has been instructed to immediately communicate these orders to all arms license holders.
They must ensure that the weapons are returned to their owners in the same condition as they were surrendered after the deposit period ends.
