Punjab has been battling the growing menace of drug trafficking, with police operations intensifying over the last year. Drugs like heroin, methamphetamine, and synthetic opioids are increasingly being smuggled across the borders, affecting local communities. The police have launched several high-profile operations targeting drug cartels operating in and out of Punjab. These operations have led to the arrest of key members and the confiscation of significant drug consignments.
Additionally, Punjab police have been conducting raids in known hotspots where drug trafficking is prevalent. Collaborative efforts with federal agencies and the military have strengthened these operations, which have disrupted the distribution chains and reduced the availability of illicit drugs in the region. These sustained efforts are vital in the ongoing fight against drug abuse and its devastating social consequences.
