Last month Amritsar made the headlines for similar incidents that questioned the tall claims of police over the development that has emerged as a massive point of concern. Maqboolpura from the district has emerged as a major epicenter for the major contraband trade last.
One of the videos which came to light last month showed how a man blatantly speaks about the prevailing racket, in the video the man can be heard telling the name of the drug dealer as well.
With the video going viral, the Police swung into action and launched a raid in the region including a couple of times by the ADGP rank officers leading to arrests of several youths involved. Despite regular efforts of all the departments, intoxicants are being openly sold and consumed in Maqboolpura.

4 videos in the last few weeks have surfaced from the region that has exposed the failure of police in cracking down the cases and has continuously challenged the system’s commitment and zero tolerance policy against the prevalent drug nexus in the state.
Persistent cases being reported from the bordering district of Amritsar even pose a major question about the possible availability of intoxicants from across the border, which has also been busted several times by the Border Security Force.
The police have reiterated their intolerant stand against the prevailing drug menace in the state, however, the action is majorly out of seen on the ground, while the state continues to grieve.
