NEW DELHI: In an effort to bring an alternative to the pellet guns, the Indian government on Monday said that non-penetrative plastic bullets may be used in Jammu and Kashmir for crowd control or stone-pelting mobs to reduce collateral damage during counter-insurgency operations.
The government sources, however, said the pellet guns will continue to be used as the last resort in the non-lethal category.
Senior Home Ministry officials said that thousands of plastic bullets have already been produced and sent to the Kashmir for use by the security forces deployed there.
