Demolition Drive Targets Drug Network

The demolition of illegally constructed properties is part of a larger strategy to dismantle the infrastructure of drug operations in Punjab. By targeting assets acquired through illicit drug trade, the authorities aim to weaken the financial backbone of the drug mafia. The Punjab Police, in coordination with local administration, carried out the action to send a strong message that drug-related crimes will not be tolerated.

This latest move is one of several measures taken under the War Against Drugs campaign, which has seen the arrest of numerous drug peddlers and the seizure of large quantities of illegal substances in recent months. The state government remains firm on its zero-tolerance policy toward drug trafficking, ensuring that those involved in the illicit trade face legal consequences.

Punjab Police Vows to Continue Action

Following the demolitions, Punjab Police reaffirmed its commitment to the cause, stating that strict action will continue against drug offenders across the state. Officials have warned that properties linked to drug smuggling will face legal scrutiny, and further enforcement actions will be carried out in other districts as well.

The Punjab government has been actively working to curb the menace of drugs through law enforcement measures, rehabilitation programs, and awareness campaigns. With the demolition of illegal properties in Patiala and Rupnagar, the administration has sent a strong signal that it will continue its relentless fight against the drug mafia to secure a safer and drug-free Punjab.
