The Manipur government has announced a 15‑day period during which citizens can voluntarily surrender illegal firearms and ammunition without penalty.
In a move aimed at reducing illegal arms in the state, the Manipur government has announced a 15‑day amnesty period for voluntary surrender of firearms and ammunition.
The initiative allows residents to hand over illegal weapons to police stations across the state, with no prosecution or fines for those who surrender.
Officials say the amnesty is part of a broader effort to curb violence and enhance public safety, and the surrender window will close after the 15‑day period.
