.....of the provisions of the Act. There has been increased use of firearms, mootly unauthorised by terrorists and others in committing violent acts. Such activities have been particularly noticed in 'disturbed areas' like Punjab and Chandigarh. The punishments provided for at present do not have a strong deterrent effect. There is, therefore, an increased need to provide for more stringent punishment to curb unauthorised access to arms and ammunition and to combat the growing menace of terrorism. It is accordingly proposed to provide for very stringent punishments for illegal possession or carrying of arms in disturbed areas and for contravention of sub-section(1B) of section 25of the Act in disturbed areas. It is also proposed to make the Punishments for other contraventions of the said sub-section(1B) more stringent. 2 The.Bill seeks to achieve the above objectives. -S.O.R. - Gaz. of India. 16-5-1985, Pt.

ACT 32 OF 1978 (ii) The Indian Explosives Act, 1884 was enacted nearly a century ago when there were no indigenous manufacturers of high explosives in this country and only a few simpler types of explosives were manufactured. 2. After Independence many large and small companies began to manufacture high explosives. There was a general complaint from the industry that the Explosives Act, which was based on the old British pattern, was not adequate to meet the country's growing requirements and resulted in difficulties for the Industry. With a view to removing the short-comings in the Indian Explosives Act and to obviate the difficulties experienced by the Industry, the Government appointed in 1966 a Committee on Explosives to suggest ways and means for removal of the difficulties experienced in the working of the Act. This Committee submitted its report suggesting a number of amendments to the Indian Explosives Act. These recommendations have been accepted by the Government. The more important amongst these recommendations are-.....
