Cyberabad police request weapon surrender before LS elections

Cyberabad police have asked arms licence holders to deposit their weapons before the Lok Sabha elections on May 13, 2024. The deadline for depositing weapons is March 23. Failure to comply will result in legal action.

The notification issued by the Cyberabad police Commissionerate gives the Licencing Authority the power to order the deposit of weapons at police stations. The weapons can be reclaimed by licence holders after June 7, 2024, once the elections are over.

Those wanting an exemption from the deposit order can apply to the District Arms Screening Committee at the commissioner’s office in Gachibowli. Contact M Ravi Chandra Reddy, Additional DCP (admin), at 9490617206 for more information.
