Kashmir unrest to be calmed by Chilli-based PAVA instead of pellet guns

Chilli-filled PAVA (Pelargonic Acid Vanillyl Amide) grenades will replace pellet guns to control protesters in Kashmir. Chilli-filled PAVA grenades temporarily incapacitates the target and renders them immobile for several minutes. These shells are to be used in place of pellet guns which has led to wide-scale criticism as their usage led to cases of severe blindness and injuries to people.
