A briefing to the chief minister stated, “We have examined the licences of the arms and cars,” as the latter stated, “There is a complete restriction on carrying arms in public, and even guards holding riffles outside homes should be told to remain within.” The chief minister suggested that the police should tell the guards to stay inside their premises.
