WEAPONS BADLY STORED With the increasing violence across the country it is more and more important that the government streamlines due processes related to weapons. Yet, despite this, one more time, I received a last minute call yesterday evening asking me to deposit my gun at the police station due to the zila parishad elections. This is not due process. I've had the gun most of my life and the proper process is to send a registered letter to all licence holders and put a notice in two or three leading newspapers.
Not only is the government not following this process, they are refusing to store the guns properly. They are stored and stacked roughly in a shabby condition in an ill-ventilated small room. I've complained several times in the past upto the level of Collector. It all falls on deaf ears. These guns are valuable and most have historic or sentimental value as they have been handed down from generation to generation. The government doesn't forget to regularly increase the license fees for their revenue at exorbitant rates. How come they forget to do the bare minimum in return?
