In his letter to the CM, the legislator has emphasised the need to allow fresh armed licences in view of Operation Sindoor.

BJP MLA seeks firearm licences for ‘law-abiding' citizens, training for women
Bhopal: A BJP MLA has urged CM Mohan Yadav to resume the issuance of new firearm licences to "law-abiding and qualified" individuals in the state, citing a growing sentiment of patriotism and self-defense among citizens following the success of "Operation Sindoor". Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a letter to the CM, Kalapipal legislator Ghanshyam Chandravanshi said the suspension of licence issuance, put in place during the model code of conduct for the 2023 assembly polls, should now be lifted, as many people are seeking arms for personal protection, and have already undergone firearms training. He confirmed the same to the TOI and shared the letter written to CM. He also underlined the need for firearms training to women. Besides, Chandravanshi emphasised the need for the govt to facilitate this process by resuming the issuance of new firearm licenses, which has been put on hold. The MLA urged the CM to order issuance of necessary directives for granting firearm licenses to law-abiding and qualified individuals, in accordance with prescribed norms and safety standards.
