Guns and registration

By our correspondents
May 05, 2016

I submitted my 12 bore gun licence to Nadra for registration in compliance with an order of the Punjab government. The licence was issued to me in 1965, when it was ‘One Unit’, and so it was made valid for West Pakistan, the only province at that time.

Almost six months have passed since but the Punjab Home Department has yet to decide about the area of validity of this licence. As a result, Nadra is not able to register it and issue me a new licence. The Punjab government is requested to decide and inform Nadra so that it can decide on the subject.
