    Police in this state to train people who own guns or apply for licences




    mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black"> Digital Desk: Kerala police are going to provide guns handling training to persons who either
    hold a gun licence or have applied for one. The project is a first of its sort,
    and it comes on the heels of the government's recent decision to allow local
    governments to slaughter crop-invading wild boars.

    shooters after the new directive to empower local agencies went into effect,
    and stated they were compelled to seek police assistance. There were also a few
    occurrences involving unintentional firing.
