JALANDHAR
In yet another crackdown against drug peddlers, Commissionerate Police Jalandhar, in coordination with the Municipal Corporation, on Wednesday demolished an illegal property belonging to a drug smuggler. The encroached structure, constructed on government land allegedly using drug money, was razed as part of the ongoing campaign "Yudh Nashian Virudh."
Commissioner of Police Jalandhar said the Municipal Corporation had received information about an illegal construction on Government land by a notorious drug smuggler, Dharminder, son of Mohan Lal, a resident of Dhankiya Mohalla, Jalandhar. The property was reportedly built using proceeds from his illegal drug trade.
Acting promptly, the Municipal Corporation and Police teams swung into action and demolished the encroached structure, sending a strong message that drug-related activities will not be tolerated in Jalandhar.
The CP Jalandhar said that Dharminder is a habitual offender, with six cases registered against him under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. This action marks a significant step in dismantling the financial network of drug peddlers and ensuring accountability.
The Commissionerate Police reaffirmed their commitment to eliminating the drug menace from the society and urged citizens to support their efforts in making Jalandhar drug-free.
