Punjab Police Seizes ₹127 Cr Heroin in Major Drug Bust..

Punjab : In a significant breakthrough in the fight against drug trafficking, the Punjab Police has seized heroin worth ₹127 crore as part of its ongoing anti-narcotics campaign. The operation marks one of the largest drug busts in recent times and is being hailed as a major achievement in the state’s relentless battle against the drug menace.

The narcotics were recovered following a detailed investigation and a targeted operation by specialized police teams. Acting on a tip-off, law enforcement authorities conducted a raid and successfully recovered a large consignment of heroin, disrupting a key supply chain. Along with the seizure, a major drug trafficker has also been arrested. Authorities believe that the individual played a crucial role in an organized drug syndicate operating across state and national borders.

Officials have stated that the heroin was intended for large-scale distribution and could have had devastating impacts if it had reached the streets. The successful operation not only prevented a major quantity of illegal drugs from circulating but also dealt a blow to the broader network of smugglers and suppliers.

Punjab Police Chief commended the team for their swift and strategic action. He reiterated the department’s commitment to rooting out drug trafficking and emphasized that no individual or group involved in such illegal activities will be spared. The seizure, he said, is a testament to the force’s vigilance and unwavering dedication to public safety.

This latest crackdown is part of the ongoing state-wide operation against drug networks, which has already led to multiple arrests and the seizure of large quantities of illegal substances over the past few months. The police are also investigating the links of this network to international drug syndicates and are expected to make more arrests in the coming days.

Residents and community leaders have welcomed the police’s efforts and urged continued vigilance to ensure a drug-free Punjab. The latest development is seen as a strong message to traffickers and an encouraging sign that law enforcement is actively working to eliminate narcotics from society.
