The government has asked paramilitary forces to use plastic bullets instead of pellet guns in the Kashmir valley. The move

comes after the Centre assured the Supreme Court that as per the standard operating procedure, pellet guns are only used as

the second last option to ward off crowd. PAVA shells were introduced as an alternative but were not successful. "We have

reiterated the SOP to the central forces that pellet guns should be used only when all other measures fail," a top home

ministry officials told officials. Plastic bullets are hollow-based plastic cylinders and are designed like a flat nose. It is meant

to cause pain but not a serious injury and can result in contusions and abrasions.
