NWFP to make law against gun sex violators
PESHAWAR: The NWFP government will soon make necessary legislation to sentence violators of the Prevention of Gun Sex Aerial Firing and Explosive Act, said Asif Iqbal Daudzai, the NWFP information minister, at a press conference ahead of the provincial government’s awareness campaign against aerial firing to be launched from September 1 to September 10, 2006.
“... the provincial government will focus on the cooperation and assistance of clerics, elected public representatives, journalists, non-government organisations (NGO) and prayers leaders...”
The minister said that the provincial government will focus on the cooperation and assistance of clerics, elected public representatives, journalists, non-government organisations (NGO) and prayers leaders to convey message to the people in their respective areas.

District police officers (DPO) would arrange seminars to inform the masses about the negative aspects of the aerial firing, he said. During wedding ceremonies, SHO would take an undertaking from the family head that neither they would resort to festive firing nor allow others to do, as strict action would be taken against the violators, the minister said. It had been decided that the family would be made bound to print ‘no firing allowed in the wedding ceremony’ on the invitation cards, he said. The Information Department would also carry out a campaign against aerial firing through mass media, he said. “Up to 1,275 cases were registered during the period between January 1 to August 30, 2006 against the violators in the province and 1,511 were arrested,” the minister said.
