EC instructs to collect licensed firearms within Dec 24

The Election Commission (EC) on Thursday instructed the authorities concerned to collect firearms with license within December 24, ahead of the 11th national election.

EC Joint Secretary Farhad Ahmed Khan sent a letter with the instruction to the Public Safety Department of the Home Ministry in this regard, according to UNB.

"All the legal firearms need to be collected before December 30. Only those involved in maintaining security of the government and other important establishments will remain out of the purview of the order. All the firearms must be deposited to the police stations concerned," the letter reads.

The copies of the letter have been sent to the departments concerned including the Cabinet Division.
