The successful operation reflects the police’s proactive approach in tracking and neutralising drug syndicates operating within the state.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann commended the Punjab Police for their unwavering dedication, stating that the government will continue to back strong enforcement measures to eradicate drugs from Punjab. He reiterated that a drug-free Punjab is one of his top priorities and urged citizens to support the fight by reporting suspicious activities.
DGP Punjab underlined that @PunjabPoliceInd remains steadfast in its mission to dismantle drug cartels and protect the youth from falling prey to addiction. He added that such recoveries are a clear indication of the department’s resolve to crack down on cross-border smuggling and local drug peddling operations.
This seizure adds to the series of recent successes by Punjab Police in curbing the narcotics trade, which has long posed a challenge to the state. Authorities believe that the latest arrest will provide crucial leads in tracing both domestic and international links of the racket, thereby strengthening the broader fight against narco-terrorism.
