In an effort to curb the growing illegal drug trade, the Andhra Pradesh Police have launched an intensive crackdown on inter-state cannabis smugglers. Over 700 smugglers, many of whom have been evading the law for years, are currently being targeted in this operation. The police force is working across multiple districts to identify and capture these criminals, who are linked to large-scale drug trafficking networks operating in the region.
The operation has been bolstered with the deployment of specialized task forces, and authorities have been working closely with neighboring states to track down these offenders. Intelligence gathering, surveillance operations, and raids have been a significant part of the efforts, with numerous arrests already made.
Cannabis, also known as ganja, is one of the most widely trafficked drugs in the state, with the smuggling operations spanning across state borders. The Andhra Pradesh Police’s intensified approach aims not only to dismantle these trafficking operations but also to send a strong message against the growing drug menace.
The crackdown is expected to have far-reaching effects in curbing drug abuse in the state, as authorities continue to pursue smugglers and drug peddlers linked to these illegal activities.
