Over the past three years, Himachal Pradesh authorities have confiscated properties worth ₹16 crore linked to individuals involved in drug trafficking. Of this amount, ₹9 crore worth of properties were seized in the last year alone. The state government has intensified its efforts to target the financial assets of drug traffickers as part of its broader strategy to dismantle organized criminal networks.
This move signals a tougher stance by the Himachal Pradesh government on the economic aspect of drug trafficking. By seizing the assets linked to these criminals, the government aims to weaken the financial foundations of drug syndicates, thereby making it harder for them to continue their illegal operations.
