pava shells in kashmir

earlier articles on this topic here & here

new shells seem to be less effective


An expert panel was constituted by the Union home ministry to find an alternative to pellet guns for crowd control following an uproar in Kashmir after its usage led to fatalities.


The panel had zeroed in on 'PAVA shells' which were considered "less lethal" and were capable of "immobilising the target temporarily".

'PAVA' stands for Pelargonic Acid Vanillylamide, also called Nonivamide, and is an organic compound found in natural chilli pepper.

On the Scoville scale (to measure the power of chilli), PAVA is categorised as "above peak", meaning it will "severely irritate and paralyse" humans, but the irritation and paralysis will remain "temporary" in nature. It is also used as a food additive to add pungency, flavouring and the spicy effect to eatables.
