Punjab CM Amarinder Singh exempted ex-servicemen, senior citizens from mandatory dope tests for issuance and renewal of arms licences. "CM agreed they were fit cases for exemption...considering their track records and age," said an official. The decision was taken after a request from ex-servicemen and senior citizen groups, many of whom had been in possession of arms licences for decades.
