Punjab's War on Drugs: Demolition of Drug Dealers' Illegal Properties

Police in Punjab have intensified their crackdown on drug dealers, demolishing illegal constructions linked to two individuals as part of a broader campaign. This initiative forms a critical component of the Punjab government's efforts to eradicate drug-related activities, with 78 more properties identified for similar action.

Police authorities in Punjab undertook a significant operation against drug-related activities, demolishing illegal structures tied to narcotic dealers. This decisive action underscores the state's commitment to its 'War on Drugs' campaign, aiming to eliminate the drug menace from its jurisdiction.

In two separate incidents, illegally built properties in Talwandi Klan and Himmat Nagar were demolished. The police's operation in Talwandi Klan involved Sonu, a known figure in the drug trade facing multiple charges. The action followed legal proceedings and was part of a coordinated effort with local authorities.

Ludhiana's Additional Commissioner of Police, Gurdev Singh, highlighted that they have identified 78 more properties connected to drug money, which will be demolished following legal procedures. Chief Secretary KAP Sinha emphasized the need for robust support systems, urging the establishment of well-equipped rehab and de-addiction centers across the region.
