This operation reaffirms the commitment of Police to combat the drug menace. Local people of the area hailed the initiative of Police.
Meanwhile, acting tough against drug peddlers and to eradicate the menace of drugs from the society, Police booked two notorious drug smugglers under PIT NDPS Act in Baramulla after obtaining formal detention orders from competent authority.
The notorious drug smugglers namely Irshad Ahmad Wani resident of Pandithpora Bala Tangmarg, Baramulla & Mohd Tajamul Masoodi resident of Bagander Pampore, Pulwama have been booked under PIT-NDPS Act after obtaining formal detention orders from the competent Authority.
The booked drug smugglers have been detained and subsequently lodged in Central Jail Kot-Balwal Jammu.
Pertinent to mention here that many cases are registered against these drug smugglers and were involved in promoting drug abuse trade by supplying drugs to local youth of Solinda, Khaipora, Tangmarg & other areas of District. Despite their involvement in many FIRs, they did not mend their activities and were again involved in promoting drug abuse trade by supplying drugs to local youth, police said.
