Sharp weapons sell openly
Recently I went to Baitul Mukarram to check out some camera gears. On my way back, I stopped at the roadside stalls where they sell lamps, calculators, diaries and other things. Suddenly I noticed that switchblades of various designs were being sold at a shop. I also noticed small knives there. I asked the shopkeeper how he got to sell these and whether he had a license or not. He replied that he didn't have a license and said there are people who buy the switchblades in dozens. According to him, some of his customers complained that these switchblades were so sharp that the victims fell just after the first stab. Where is the law and order maintenance authority? Whose duty is this to stop this?
