Punjab Newsline, March 27-
With the street supply of drugs witnessing a drastic reduction following intensive crackdown as part of the ongoing war against drugs ‘Yudh Nashian Virudh’ launched on the directions of CM Bhagwant Singh Mann, Punjab Police has now shifted focus to dismantling high-level drug networks by targeting big fish including drug suppliers and kingpins fuelling the narcotics trade in the state, said DGP Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Thursday.
"We are not stopping at street-level arrests of drug peddlers/smugglers. Punjab Police teams are now rigorously questioning all the arrested drug peddlers/smugglers to trace and identify the big fish in narcotics trade in the state,” said the DGP, while addressing a press conference here at Punjab Police Headquarters here. He was accompanied by IGP Headquarters Dr Sukhchain Singh Gill.
The development came close of heels of the DGP Punjab directing all the the CPs and SSPs to identify and catalogue the main drug suppliers/peddlers in their respective districts within seven days.
