Bathinda, Punjab: In a significant breakthrough in the ongoing *“Yudh Nashian Virudh”* (War Against Drugs) campaign, Bathinda Police (CIA-2) arrested a drug smuggler and recovered 152 grams of heroin from his possession. The successful operation once again underscores the department’s relentless determination to uproot the drug menace from society.
The arrest was made as part of continuous surveillance and proactive enforcement measures being carried out across the district to dismantle drug networks. The accused was intercepted by the CIA-2 team, and upon thorough search, a substantial quantity of heroin was seized. The swift action prevented the narcotic substance from reaching vulnerable communities and young individuals.
Police officials emphasized that Bathinda Police is leaving no stone unturned in the fight against drugs. From stringent patrolling to targeted intelligence-led operations, every effort is being made to curb smuggling activities and ensure strict legal action against offenders. The department has also been working closely with various enforcement agencies to break supply chains and identify kingpins behind illegal trafficking.
District Police further stated that this arrest is not an isolated achievement but part of a broader, sustained effort to secure the future of Punjab’s youth and protect society from the devastating impact of narcotics. Reiterating their firm stance, officials assured that strict action will continue against all those engaged in the illicit trade until the vision of a drug-free Bathinda is achieved.
