    Commissionerate don't issue licences and harass with the process. This naturally makes people opt for illegal arms manufacturing and purchasing.

    In our times it was 'Akhiyon se Goli Maare- Ladki Kamaal Ki' and all that.
    Nowadays it's 'Asli Goli' with a bang.
    We have progressed.

    Really surprise..now-a-days price of all the things sky-rocketed..!!
    Earlier country-made guns available at around Rs.20,000/-..but purchasers are less..selling by Afghani Karim Lala..!!
    Due to demand of guns are on rise..with new 'gangs' crop-up each day very difficult to buy...by a small time rowdy sheeters..!!
    A new government should look into this matter quickly..Jai Ho..

    Aye goli maar bheje mein ke bheja shor karatha hai...
