Amritsar Police Seize Over 111 kg Heroin, Make 2,000+ Arrests in Seven Months
Punjab's Amritsar police have intensified efforts against drug trafficking and organised crime over the past seven months, seizing over 111.5 kg of heroin and other narcotics, registering more than 1,100 NDPS cases, and arresting over 2,000 individuals. Operations under campaigns like 'Yudh Nashean Virudh' and 'Gangstran Te Vaar' also led to significant arms seizures and financial recoveries linked to hawala transactions. The police have combined enforcement with rehabilitation initiatives, admitting many to de-addiction and treatment centers, while employing advanced technology to enhance investigations.
