The campaign, being carried out in coordination with Anti-Narcotics Task Force Punjab, has been focusing on dismantling drug supply networks while simultaneously addressing the issue of addiction at the grassroots level.
In addition to enforcement, Punjab Police reported that 12 individuals were counselled and persuaded to undergo de-addiction and rehabilitation treatment, highlighting a dual approach of strict action against smugglers and support for those struggling with substance abuse.
Officials stated that raids were conducted across multiple districts as part of a sustained effort to curb the drug menace in the state. The campaign has been ongoing for over a year and continues to see daily operational updates.
Data shared by the police indicates that a total of 55,877 drug smugglers have been arrested since the launch of the campaign, reflecting the scale and intensity of the crackdown.
The anti-drug initiative has been a key focus area under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, with authorities aiming to reduce both supply and demand through enforcement, awareness, and rehabilitation measures.
Security agencies maintain that continued coordination between law enforcement units and community participation will be critical in sustaining the momentum of the campaign and achieving long-term results in the fight against drugs in Punjab.
