MC and Punjab Police combined operation, notorious drug peddler's shops and two-story houses were destroyed using JCB machines

Punjab Government Stepping Up Crackdown on Drug Trafficking: In a big step towards fighting drug trafficking, the Punjab government has razed properties owned by drug traffickers in Amritsar, underlining its determination to make the state drug-free.

On an Amritsar Municipal Corporation and Punjab Police combined operation, notorious drug peddler's shops and two-story houses were destroyed by using JCB machines by Police Commissioner S. Gurpreet Singh Bhullar at the helm. This is the decisive action given to send across a clear signal to drug pushers of illegality of carrying on the ill trade.

MLA Jeevanjot Kaur restated Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann's strong position by saying that the drug traffickers need to choose between leaving the trade or departing from Punjab. She asserted that the government won't accept the drug trade and will act forcefully against the involved parties.

Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar assured that the crackdown is following the direct directions of CM Bhagwant Mann and DGP Gaurav Yadav. He issued a warning that none of the drug traffickers would be spared as the authorities scale up efforts to rid Punjab of drugs.

The razed structures were owned by two infamous traffickers: 

- Gurmeet Singh – With three cases against him, 325 grams of smack and 350 grams of heroin seized.
- Sandeep Singh alias Sonu – Has four cases filed, including narcotics in Sarai Amanat Khan and Anti-Narcotics Force Mohali.

This operation marks a significant point of Punjab's commitment to eradicating drug networks and building a healthier, secure future for its people.
