Police in Ludhiana and Una have taken action against drug-related offenses by attaching or freezing assets linked to accused individuals. Ludhiana authorities reported attaching properties worth over Rs 29 crore from 85 alleged drug suppliers since March last year, alongside numerous arrests and narcotics seizures.
