The EKH authority has set a deadline of September 20 for gun owners with expired licences to renew them, according to The Meghalayan Express.
The EKH authority has issued a notice requiring all gun licence holders whose permits have lapsed to submit renewal applications by 20 September, as reported by The Meghalayan Express. The deadline applies uniformly across the jurisdiction, and owners are instructed to present required documents, including proof of residence and a recent photograph, at the designated licensing office. Failure to comply may lead to suspension of the licence and possible legal action. Officials say the measure is intended to keep firearms in the hands of legally vetted individuals and to curb illegal possession, urging owners to avoid last‑minute submissions due to expected high application volumes.
