Efforts Urged to Control Gun and Explosive

The Ministry of Public Security has called for nationwide efforts to cut down cases involving guns and explosives.

At a teleconference Tuesday, Vice Minister Luo Feng said various localities should learn a lesson from last month's explosion in Shaanxi Province which killed 47 people and injured another 85.

Tough measures should be taken to curb gun- and explosive-related cases from occurring according to law, he said.

Chinese police have launched a nationwide campaign to check the illegal use of guns and explosives since March this year.
