Bangladesh has prohibited the use of airguns with some exceptions in a bid to protect bird species and wildlife.

The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change announced the new restriction on Tuesday, making it effective until further notice, reports bdnews24.com.

However, the prohibition will not apply to registered shooting clubs, self-defence for people in forest regions and those who need to use the weapon for social rituals, according to the notice.
