"I never bothered to apply for a licence before because I knew it was not so easy to get," said Shivpuri resident K.K. Saxena, 55, who recently underwent the procedure. "But when I heard about this then I decided to apply."

Saxena was provided with a medical slip confirming his sterilisation to attach to his gun application.

About 10,000 to 15,000 people apply each year for gun licences in Shivpuri, but only about 500 permits are granted annually.

One official, however, lambasted the idea.

"Where there are guns, even minor feuds often escalate into events that claim lives," said a police official who did not want to be named.

"The government should consider other incentives. It's ridiculous and irresponsible on the part of the authorities."
