Govt panel for chilli-filled grenades, stun lac shells as alternatives to pellet guns

NEW DELHI: A committee, set up to find alternatives to pellet guns in the Kashmir Valley, today suggested use of chilli-filled grenades and ‘stun lac shells’ to control mobs in addition to the debatable weapon being used now.

Pellet guns are, however, unlikely to be completely banned but will be fired in “rarest of rare cases”.

The seven-member expert committee, headed by Joint Secretary in the Home Ministry T V S N Prasad, submitted its report today.

The panel was constituted after scores of protesters were blinded by the use of pellet guns in the Valley. (AGENCIES)
