As part of their actions, five FIRs were registered in Rajouri district, with three FIRs in Manjakote and one each in Nowshera and Rajouri police stations. The police arrested four individuals involved in peddling, successfully thwarting their smuggling attempts.
In total, the police seized 8.875 KGs (With Wrap) of Heroin, 3.350 KGs of Poppy Straw, and 159 Grams of Charas. Additionally, another consignment of 15 Grams of Heroin and some Cannabis powder were confiscated during the operations.
Speaking on the issue, SSP Rajouri, Amritpal Singh (IPS), acknowledged that narcotics and drugs addiction poses a significant challenge to society. He stressed the need for inclusive efforts from all sections of society to combat this problem effectively. The police are actively working to tighten the noose around peddlers in the district while simultaneously focusing on de-addiction efforts for the youth.
The SSP Rajouri appealed to the public to utilize the de-addiction facilities set up by the government in Rajouri, emphasizing the importance of promoting de-addiction and helping addicted youth recover and reintegrate into society. The collaborative efforts of law enforcement and the community are essential in overcoming the threat of narcotics and drugs addiction in the region. |
