Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, March 25-
Shifting its strategy from broad enforcement to precision strikes against big fish as part of the ongoing war against drugs 'Yudh Nashian Virudh' DGP Gaurav Yadav on Tuesday, directed all the CPs and SSPs to identify and catalog the main drug suppliers/peddlers in their respective districts within seven days. The directive, issued through a stern letter, aims to systematically dismantle supply chains fueling the state's narcotics trade.
Notably, the anti-drugs campaign 'Yudh Nashian Virudh' launched by the Punjab Government on March 1, 2025, has resulted in arrest of 3957 drug smugglers after registration of 2248 first information reports (FIRs) across the state and led to recovery of large amount of contrabands, including 137.7 kg heroin from the possession of drug smugglers.
“Feedback from the citizens and other inputs indicate that the street level availability of heroin and other drugs has considerably reduced.
