A UP firm has developed non-lethal ‘Trishul’, ‘Vajra’, for troops after Galwan clashes. After the Galwan Valley clash, the need for non-lethal weapons was taken into consideration. The weapons were created upon the request of the Indian Security Forces as no deadly weapons or ammunition can be brought near the LAC. The non-lethal weapons were developed by Apasteron Pvt. Ltd., an Uttar Pradesh firm located in Noida.

The development of such weapons was urgent after the clash. In 1996 and 2005, China and India had signed an agreement where both nations had initiated their agreement to follow several protocols near the LAC to avoid any fatal face-off.

Things were under control until last year when the Chinese troops attacked unannounced and took the lives of 20 Indian soldiers with stones and sticks. The non-lethal weapons are modified and are taken from Indian mythology. The structure remains ancient while the working of the non-lethal weapons has been modernized.
