The federal government has made a unique plan to tackle the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Long March as police will use ‘itching bullets’ against the troublemaking marchers.

According to the 24News HD TV channel, the sources in the police department said that the police will use paint guns, paper guns, and pencil guns against the participants of the PTI long march. 

The police sources said that for this purpose, 40,000 guns and 60,000 paint and paper bullets will be stocked and these bullets will help police to identify or disperse troublemakers.

As per the channel report, paper guns will be able to target the participants of the march up to 100 meters while a shot from a paper gun releases a gas that causes itching in the human body.

The report said that the itches from the pepper gun bullet go away with only a change of clothes.

The police will also mark the long march participants with paint guns.

Paint guns will mark the clothes of the participants of the long march and after getting the color mark, it will be easy to arrest them.

As well as the vehicles of the marchers will also be stopped with paint guns as two shots of paint guns will tint the car's windscreen and the driver will not be able to drive the car.

The pencil gun fire emits light which is meant to give a signal to another group of police. Police sources said that the paper guns will be given only to the officers so that they can communicate with each other.

It is worth mentioning here that paper guns are also used by the army.
