.....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.

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.
