The issuance of gun licenses is being done in a routine manner as per Government policy and rules prescribed in Arms Act.
Hence, the people are advised not to believe in such rumors and fall prey to any agent or facilitator who promises them issuance of gun license from Deputy Commissioner Office as it may be fake licence.
