In a major breakthrough against drug trafficking, the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) Jalandhar Range has arrested a 23-year-old youth and recovered over 4 kg of heroin near the Attari Road area.
The police recovered 25 packets of heroin—weighing 25.9 kg—from the possession of the operative identified as Sajan Singh, alias Billa, said Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Thursday.
Shah stressed that protecting the younger generation from drugs is vital to realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a fully developed India by 2047, and noted that the proximity of global drug-supply hubs poses a significant challenge.
Adopting a zero-tolerance policy to curb the problem of drug abuse, the Special Task Force (STF) and Anti-Narcotics Task Force, (ANTF) of Himachal Pradesh Police registered 183 NDPS cases.
The Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) of the Crime Branch has dismantled a narco-syndicate involved in the nationwide distribution of banned drugs leading to arrest of three key operatives, confiscation of high-value contraband and dismantling of a factory.
An official statement said that this is the first case of preventive detention in which orders have been issued by the competent authority under Section 3 (1) and Section 10 of PIT-NDPS Act.
