Pudukkottai shooting range has been permanently closed, T.N. tells High Court

Pudukkottai

The State government on Tuesday told the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court that the shooting range in Pudukkottai district from where a stray bullet hit an 11-year-old boy, causing his death, has been permanently closed.

A Division Bench of Justices Pushpa Sathyanarayana and S. Srimathy were informed by the State that the police shooting range has been permanently closed since December 31, 2021, and it would not be used for shooting practice.

Taking note of the submission, the judges closed a petition filed by Kavivarman alias Suresh Kanna, of Aranthangi in Pudukkottai. The petitioner, a district secretary of CPI(M), sought a direction to the authorities to close the shooting range in Narthamalai village.
