MLC Kishore Kumar Puttur criticizes restrictions on gun licence renewals and says he plans to protest with farmers and other licence holders. He alleges officials are renewing licences for only two years, even though he says the rules allow renewals for up to five years.
Puttur’s remarks come as authorities review or implement licence renewal procedures. In his account, the curbs affect licence holders who rely on longer renewal terms, prompting him to threaten agitation. While the reporting focuses on his planned protest and his claim about the permitted renewal period, outlets do not indicate whether any official rationale for the two-year limit has been publicly stated in the same coverage.
