Central government asks Paramilitary Forces to use plastic bullets instead of pellet guns in Kashmir

The government has asked paramilitary forces to use plastic bullets instead of pellet guns in the Kashmir valley. The move comes after the Centre assured the Supreme Court that as per the standard operating procedure, pellet guns are only used as the second last option to ward off crowd. PAVA shells were introduced as an alternative but were not successful. "We have reiterated the SOP to the central forces that pellet guns should be used only when all other measures fail," a top home ministry officials told officials. Plastic bullets are hollow-based plastic cylinders and are designed like a flat nose. It is meant to cause pain but not a serious injury and can result in contusions and abrasions.
