Earlier today, the district administration Peshawar banned the sale of toy guns for a period of one month in an apparent attempt to curb sky rocketing sales of the toy during Eid.
The orders were given by Deputy Commissioner Riaz Khan Mehsud in keeping with Section 144.
“Police will be given the authority to arrest anyone violating the ban under Section 188 of Pakistan Penal Code,” public relations officer to Riaz Mehsud, Feroz Shah, added.
Every year sales of toy guns increase during the time of Eid. Police said children use rubber-ball ammunition in their guns and sometimes injure each other.
