DCP and ACP inspect gun stores in Vijayawada, ensuring strict record-keeping and compliance with police directives.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Adhiraj Singh Rana, and Central Zone Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), P. Bhaskar Rao inspected gun stores of the NTR Commissionerate on Monday.
Mr. Rana verified the stores’ stock position, sales, inventory and records, and directed the shopkeepers to maintain their records strictly and submit the same to the police officers concerned. Following the directions of Police Commissioner, Kanthi Rana Tata, all the gun stores of the NTR Commissionerate were being checked, the DCP added.
“The gun store managers should maintain ledgers and sale invoices of all weapons, including the air guns,” Mr. Bhaskar Rao said.
Mr. Rana further directed Machavaram CI, B. Guna Ramu, to keep a vigil on the misuse of licensed weapons given to banks and other agencies. He also instructed the Station House Officers to check gun stores regularly and submit reports to the Commissionerate.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
