A sophisticated premises to promote air rifle and pistol shooting as a sport was inaugurated during Chief Minister M. K. Stalin’s recent visit to the city. The Trichy Rifle Club (TRC) facility, built at a cost of about ₹10 crore at the City Police Armed Reserve Ground in K.K. Nagar, was declared open by Mr. Stalin on Thursday.
The building has shooting ranges that allows members to practice at distances of 10, 25 and 50 metres set up in a campus of approximately 27,000 sq ft. While the 10m range is an indoor facility, the 25m and 50m ranges are open-air with protective structures to minimise damage caused by misfiring.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
