SP Kalanidhi Naithani on SThursday formed a cell named ‘Arms and Ammunition Control’ and asked the officials concerned to keep a close watch on gun- runners and those manufac- turing illegal firearms. He also asked the officials to ensure licenced weapons could not be used for criminal purpose. The officials were also asked to keep a close monitoring on sale of cartridges. It was said to be the first such cell to check smuggling of firearms. The decision came in the wake of three recent shooting inci- dents, which claimed the lives of three persons. The incidents were reported in Mohanlalganj, Cantonment and Hussainganj. Property dealer Ashok Yadav, puri ven- dor Deepu Verma and railway employee Mohd Shahnawaz were peppered with bullets in the city recently. The police have to lay their hands on the killers. Sources said the Lucknow police were hauled up for fail- ing to check the shooting spree. “Any incident reported in Lucknow sends a direct message to other UP districts on law and order. The gov- ernment faced severe criti- cism by the opposition. Subsequently, DGP OP Singh summoned all the SHOs and senior officials in a meeting and directed them to take preventive measures. The idea of a cell to monitor gun- running and similar prac- tices was thrashed out in the meeting and it has been implemented by the Lucknow police,” the sources said. !" #$ %&'%()*
