In a significant crackdown on drug trafficking, the Punjab government has demolished properties built by drug traffickers in Amritsar. This bold action is part of the government's commitment to making Punjab a drug-free state.
Today, the Amritsar Corporation, with the support of the Punjab Police, demolished two-storied houses and shops constructed by drug traffickers using JCB machines. Police Commissioner S. Gurpreet Singh Bhullar oversaw the operation, sending a strong message against drug trafficking.
MLA Jeevanjot Kaur warned drug traffickers, stating that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has made it clear that they must either leave the illegal business or leave Punjab. Kaur emphasized that the government will not tolerate this "Gorakh business" and will take action against those involved ¹.
Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar stated that the government is taking strict action against drug traffickers, following the instructions of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and DGP Gaurav Yadav. Bhullar warned that no drug trafficker will be spared.
The demolished properties belonged to two drug traffickers: Gurmeet Singh and Sandeep Singh alias Sonu. Three cases have been registered against Gurmeet Singh, with 325 grams of smack and 350 grams of heroin recovered. Sandeep Singh has four cases registered against him, including three at Sarai Amanat Khan and cases of Anti-Narcotics Force Mohali.
