the Delhi Police has destroyed illegal drugs worth Rs 1,682 crore, marking one of the largest drug seizures in the city’s history.
The operation, which spanned several months, led to the seizure of massive quantities of contraband, including heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and other banned substances. The destruction of the drugs was carried out in the presence of senior police officials, who emphasized the commitment to eradicating the drug trade in the capital.
Officials said the drugs, seized from multiple locations across Delhi, were destroyed at designated incineration sites to ensure complete disposal without any possibility of re-entry into circulation. The operation is part of a broader effort to curb the rising drug menace in Delhi, which has seen an increase in trafficking and addiction cases in recent years.
The Delhi Police’s Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has been working closely with international law enforcement agencies to track and intercept drug consignments. The seizures have been credited to enhanced surveillance, intelligence sharing, and stricter enforcement measures.
Authorities have reiterated their commitment to intensifying efforts against drug-related crimes, warning traffickers and suppliers of severe legal action. Delhi Police Commissioner assured the public that these operations are crucial in ensuring public safety and reducing drug-related crimes.
