Nagaland is waking to the 21st century. NO, it is not the people, who are already abreast of the contemporary world, but the Sarkar, and its law enforcing agencies. They remained caught in a time warp all these days with magnificent firearms of World War II vintage as the symbols of police authority. Now, Lee Enfield 303 and the good old Sten gun will be replaced by AK series and SLRS. The old weapons would continue to ignite memories of a bygone era for the surviving war veterans. Phasing out these weapons from Nagaland is not only inevitable but a rather late decision, since the guns have now come into the limelight for the wrong reasons: their antique status in the age of sophisticated weapons possessed by the criminals and ultras.
