NCB Uncovers Two Heroin Smuggling Routes Into Jammu and Kashmir, Seizes 6.92 Kg
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has uncovered two heroin trafficking routes from Pakistan into Jammu and Kashmir: one directly through the Uri sector and another via Punjab. Over the past month, four major interceptions in Jammu division and a linked operation in Punjab resulted in the seizure of 6.92 kg of heroin. Operations targeted drug-affected areas in Jammu-Samba, with investigations ongoing to identify others involved. The NCB traced supply chains up to Leh, where a key supplier was arrested, and urged public cooperation against drug trafficking.
