The Punjab home department has announced a mandatory digital inventory system for all arms dealers in the province, aiming to create a safer environment and reduce illegal weapons. By August 26th, all licensed dealers must upload details of their current stock, purchases, and sales onto an online portal managed by the department. This initiative, part of a broader vision for a “safe and free” Punjab, will provide a complete, accessible record of firearms and ammunition. Non-compliance will result in penalties, including license suspension, business closure, and fines. Deputy commissioners have been tasked with ensuring full registration and submitting compliance reports. The move is intended to increase transparency and accountability within the arms trade, ultimately strengthening public safety measures across Punjab. The online portal for registration is https://pal.nadra.gov.pk/pal/.
