Police seek spl courts to fast-track Arms Act cases
Patna: Police have stepped up efforts to combat the spread of illegal arms and submitted a proposal to the state govt for the creation of special courts in every district to fast-track Arms Act cases. Director general of police (DGP) Vinay Kumar said on Thursday that over 5,000 cases were registered under the Arms Act across Bihar in the past year alone. "The absence of fast-track courts has led to unnecessary delays in hearings," he said. Kumar added that such special courts had earlier existed between 2005 and 2011 and had ensured convictions within a week. "This initiative served as an effective deterrent. However, after the fast-track courts were discontinued, pendency rose sharply," he added. The Arms Act, 1959, governs the manufacture, possession, sale, transport and use of firearms. Unlicensed possession may lead to imprisonment of three to seven years, while use of prohibited weapons can attract life imprisonment. "Prosecution in these cases is relatively straightforward since testimony from police personnel is usually sufficient," Kumar said. He added that the proposed system would improve conviction rates and reduce the illegal arms trade, with severity of sentencing to depend on the weapon type, its use, and the area's security status.

Aizawl: Mizoram governor gen VK Singh held a consultative meeting on Tuesday at Raj Bhavan with senior officials from the ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH), national highways logistics management limited (NHLML), and the urban development & poverty alleviation (UD&PA) department to explore the implementation of the national ropeways development programme — Parvatmala Pariyojana — in Mizoram. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Stressing the urgency of alternative transport solutions to ease growing urban traffic congestion, the governor emphasised the need to expand development beyond the core of Aizawl, which faces increasing space constraints. He stressed that connectivity for remote and hilly areas must be a priority, noting that the Parvatmala project could provide a viable solution if executed efficiently through interdepartmental coordination. MoRTH additional secretary Vinay Kumar, who led the central team, assured the governor that necessary measures would be taken to facilitate the rollout of a ropeway project in Mizoram. He emphasised the scheme's suitability for improving mobility in hilly terrain, noting that 90% of the project revenue could be reinvested for local development. State UD&PA secretary Lalmalsawma Pachuau discussed the plans on the proposed ropeway corridors under the Aizawl sustainable urban transport project (ASUTP). He outlined a comprehensive mobility plan developed for the 280 sq km greater Aizawl area, which includes multiple urban transport initiatives such as ropeways, pedestrian infrastructure enhancements, truck terminals, and bus system improvements. Other present at the meeting were secretary to the governor Ajit Roy, UD&PA director Jacob Lalawmpuia, NHLML vice president Prashant Jain, and other officials from the UD&PA department.
