In a major crackdown on cross-border drug smuggling, Punjab Police, in collaboration with the Border Security Force, recovered 3.925 kilograms of heroin from fields in Kalia village, Tarn Taran district. The consignment was smuggled across the border using a drone, highlighting the evolving tactics employed by traffickers.
The operation unfolded in the early hours, with security forces acting on precise intelligence. Officers from Valtoha police station swiftly registered a First Information Report and launched a comprehensive investigation to trace handlers operating from across the border. This seizure not only disrupts a key supply line but also underscores the vigilance of Punjab’s law enforcement against modern smuggling techniques.
Punjab Police shared details of the bust on their official social media channels, emphasizing their unwavering commitment to eradicating the drug menace plaguing the state. ‘We are determined to dismantle every network smuggling narcotics into Punjab,’ a senior official stated. The recovery demonstrates the effectiveness of joint operations between state police and central forces.
Such actions have far-reaching implications, protecting the youth from addiction and fostering a safer society. Investigations are ongoing, with expectations of further arrests that could unravel the entire syndicate. The police have urged the public to report any suspicious drone activity or related movements immediately.
This success bolsters Punjab’s anti-drug campaign, proving that coordinated intelligence and rapid response can thwart even high-tech smuggling attempts. As border vigilance intensifies, traffickers face mounting challenges in their illicit operations.
