The Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government has achieved a major breakthrough in its ongoing war against drugs. Acting on the recommendation of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the state, Interpol has issued a Blue Corner Notice against Satpreet Satta, a Canada-based accused with deep links to multi-crore drug trafficking networks in Punjab.
According to official sources, Satta is not only wanted in connection with several drug trafficking cases but also has alleged ties with former minister Bikram Singh Majithia. His international presence made it difficult for state agencies to track him down, but the cooperation of Interpol now marks a big step forward in holding him accountable.
How the Bhagwant Mann Government is Cracking Down on Drugs
The Mann government has consistently highlighted its zero-tolerance policy towards drugs in Punjab. The formation of the SIT was a strong signal of the administration’s intent to bring both small and big players in the drug trade to justice. With the Blue Corner Notice in place, law enforcement agencies across the globe will monitor Satta’s movements, making his arrest and extradition more likely.
Officials confirmed that the SIT had provided detailed evidence to Interpol regarding Satta’s role in the drug racket. The move has been welcomed by the people of Punjab, who have long demanded strict action against those fueling the state’s drug crisis.
A Step Towards Justice and Safer Punjab
Experts see this as a landmark achievement for the Punjab government. While the road to complete eradication of drug networks remains challenging, the issuance of this notice indicates that international agencies are now cooperating with Punjab to crack down on offenders.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has reiterated that his government will continue to go after those responsible for spreading drugs, regardless of their political or international connections.
With this action, Punjab has sent a clear message: no drug trafficker, however powerful or well-connected, can escape accountability.
