The senior most police officer present on the spot dealing with the
stone pelters should assess the feasibility of charging at the unruly
mob with lathis and shields first. The assessment would depend
upon the relative strength of the unruly mob and police force and
whether the police party is equipped properly with anti-riot gear so
that police personnel do not suffer disproportionate iojuries.
v.
If stone pelting from the unruly mob persists, the Police contingent
should, as far as practicable, use water cannon and tear smoke
shells and attempt should be made to avoid hitting directly on vital
parts of their body by the shells to minimize causalities.
vi.
If use of tear smoke is not effective, other non-lethal and less lethal
means should be used exercising caution and discretion. Attempt
should be made to keep the line of fire, when required, below the

capacity-whether
idea is
that it must have proven effect on actual riotous mobs and not on
volunteers.
Effectivity of tear gas is highly limited in open spaces and depends
greatly on prevailing winds. People have learnt protective tricks like
use of wet cloth to evade its ill impacts. As such experienced rioters
do not take it seriously. The shells are either smothered with a wet
gunny bag or thrown back. Throwing back is facilitated by the fact
that TSM burns and does not explode. Individual sl~ellsdo not produce
a sufficient volume of smoke/sound and the rate of burning

Bullets made of plastic which are fired fiom the regular rifles.
At present the plastic bullets can fire on individual mode. The basic
requirement is that it should be possible to fire them in semi-automatic
mode fiom the regular rifles (AK and INSAS) and that the effective
range must be about 50 yards.
It has not yet been field tested. .303 version was tested in Kerala and
not found to be capable of dispersing a mob. In real life, under stress it
is unrealistic for .the police man to be able to judge range correctly.
It should not be used' fiom a close distance.

Pepper ball Launchers launches small balls filled with pepper powder
with irritants on the mob. It has been extensively field tested. It has a very
low range of just about 30 yards in comparison to tear gas, hence it is
risky in fiont of mobs throwing stones. The accuracy becomes quite poor
after 30 yards.
It requires at least 6- 10 rounds to cause real discomfort which is difficult
in real life. It is not-effective
--to__
disperse the mob.
-- It sounds very feeble
and has no psychological impact like tear gas shell.
They have not been found effective with the given formulation.
However, should the DRDO succeed in developing an irritant which is
much more powerful, pepper balls can be designed incorporating that
chemical.
The irritant effect is not adequate in open spaces and is vulnerable to
winds and drizzles.

Laser Dazzlers
A device with both short. and long ranges producing flashing light
which causes discomfort to the mob. It comes in both hand held and
vehicle mounted versions.
Laser Dazzlers can be used effectively on a mob only if at a range of
50 yards or so, the beam diameter is about 40 inches. The idea is that
it should be possible to affect two-three people at a time and also to
make it difficult for them to shield the eyes or dodge them. A fine
well-collimated beam with a spot with the diameter of an inch or so
would not do. Further,
specially on:(a) How they react to it the second time when the novelty effect is no
longer there.
(b) How effectively they counter it with color filters; avoiding looking
in front; and physical shielding of eyes etc. Its effect may be
