Islamabad, Dec. 29 (TNS): The interior ministry on Thursday suspended all licenses for automatic weapons of prohibited bores.
Security forces, however, will remain an exception to the newly imposed sanction.
An earlier ban from unprohibited weapons was removed with immediate effect, the interior ministry notified.
A deadline of January 31, 2018, has been set to change prohibited weapons with unprohibited weapons.
Citizens holding licenses for prohibited bore weapons can either obtain a new license for unprohibited bore from the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) or submit their weapons to the district commissioner, magistrate or political agent.
