ZIRO, 8 Feb: The deputy commissioners of Lower Subansiri, Kamle, Kra Daadi, Kurung Kumey and Upper Subansiri districts have agreed to share the arms licence verification data with one another, especially in cases in which “the licence was issued in one district and the licence holder is residing in another district.”
The agreement was reached during a zonal-level coordination meeting involving the five districts, held at the district secretariat here in Lower Subansiri district on Thursday, in view of the upcoming polls.
