Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has consistently stressed the importance of cracking down on narco-terror
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has consistently stressed the importance of cracking down on narco-terror and gangster networks, terming them a serious threat to Punjab’s stability. The state government under his leadership has directed police forces to adopt a zero-tolerance approach against such elements.
The Punjab Police, through its Commissionerates and districts, has been running extensive operations to dismantle supply chains of weapons and narcotics. This latest success not only strengthens law enforcement efforts but also sends a strong message to cross-border syndicates that their designs will not succeed.
Authorities further assured the public that strict surveillance and intelligence-based operations will continue to curb smuggling activities and ensure safety in border areas.
The recovery of sophisticated Glock pistols highlights the seriousness of the threat, but police action has once again demonstrated that Punjab remains vigilant and prepared.
