The rich people, Sardars and Maliks of the area possess traditional and modern weapons, while the lower class people have only rifles or shotguns. Most of the arms are without licences. Very few licences for Kalashnikovs have been issued by the district administration to influential persons. The tribal chiefs, in order to show their power and status, carry a variety of dangerous weapons with their bodyguards. The deadly weapons are frequently used in disputes between different tribes.
