SHILLONG, MAR 30: The East Khasi Hills district administration on Thursday directed all license holders to deposit their arms and ammunition without fail in the nearest police station, outpost and beathouse during the ongoing model code of conduct enforced on account of the ensuing election to the adjourned poll to the Sohiong assembly constituency.
Non-compliance will result in imposition of penalties prescribed under Section 25, IB, (h) which reads that failure to deposit arms or ammunition as required by Sub Section (l) of Section 21 “shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than (one year) but which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine”, the order said.
