| HYDERABAD: Alarmed by the spate of armed robberies in the city, the
Cyberabad police have announced that gun licences would be made easier
to get for people living in remote localities on the fringe of the city.
A week after dacoits bludgeoned to death a couple in full view of their children, Cyberabad police commissioner M Mahender Reddy made a night-long inspection visit—with media personnel in tow—to check out patrolling and security arrangements around the city. "Gun licences will be issued depending upon the location of a colony and its susceptibility to dacoities. Farmhouses, poultry farms and remote layouts are the most susceptible," he said and added that no case would be registered if a licence-holder used the weapon to protect himself. |
