Major Police Operation Targets Drug Network in Fatehgarh Sahib
In a significant crackdown on drug trafficking, the Fatehgarh Sahib police conducted simultaneous searches at multiple locations across the district on Tuesday. The coordinated operation targeted houses of known drug peddlers as part of the ongoing war against narcotics in Punjab.
The raids were carried out under the direct supervision of Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Dr. Ravjot Grewal, who has been leading the district's anti-drug campaign. Police teams from various police stations participated in the massive operation that spanned several hours.
Simultaneous Raids Across Multiple Locations
According to police officials, the searches were conducted at five different houses belonging to suspected drug peddlers. The operation was meticulously planned to ensure all raids happened simultaneously, preventing any possibility of information leakage or evidence destruction.
The targeted locations included residences in Bassi Pathana and surrounding areas of Fatehgarh Sahib district. Police teams equipped with necessary search warrants and documentation conducted thorough examinations of the premises, leaving no stone unturned in their investigation.
During the extensive searches, law enforcement officials recovered various types of narcotic substances along with cash believed to be proceeds from drug sales. While the exact quantity and value of seized materials are still being calculated, preliminary reports indicate significant recoveries that could substantially disrupt local drug supply chains.
Ongoing War Against Drugs in Punjab
This operation represents the latest chapter in Punjab Police's determined campaign against drug peddling in the state. The Fatehgarh Sahib police have been particularly active in recent months, registering multiple cases and making numerous arrests under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
SSP Dr. Ravjot Grewal emphasized that such operations will continue regularly as part of the police department's zero-tolerance policy toward drug trafficking. "We are committed to making Fatehgarh Sahib drug-free," the SSP stated, warning that anyone involved in drug peddling would face strict legal action.
The police have also appealed to the public to cooperate in this fight against drugs by providing credible information about drug-related activities in their neighborhoods. Confidential tip lines remain active, and authorities have assured complete protection for informants.
Tuesday's successful operation has sent a strong message to drug peddlers operating in the region, demonstrating that law enforcement agencies maintain constant vigilance and will not hesitate to take decisive action against those threatening community health and safety.
