\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chandigarh, April 29:<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To realise the commitment of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann led Punjab Government to make the state a \u2018Nasha Mukt Punjab\u2019, Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav on Tuesday issued stern ultimatum to the district police chiefs to bring the drugs availability on the street to zero by May 31st, or accountibility of all the officers down to Station House Officer (SHO) level will be fixed.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The DGP accompanied by Special DGP Internal Security RN Dhoke, ADGP Anti Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) Nilabh Kishore and ADGP Law and Order Naresh Arora was chairing a high-level meeting of all the Range Inspector Generals of Police\/Deputy Inspector Generals (IGPs\/DIGs) and Commissioners of Police\/Senior Superintendents of Police (CPs\/SSPs) to make the ongoing action plan to wipe out drugs from the state foolproof in toto.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWe have taken several important decisions during the meeting including fixing the accountability of the officers. Every officer including CPs\/SSPs, DSPs and SHOs will be held responsible and accountable in their own respective areas for failing to wipe out drugs from streets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Post May 31, performance of all the officers will be assessed with the help of professional parameters, intelligence and feedback from public, he said, while adding, “After the survey, officers who did good work will be rewarded, while, punishments will be given to the officers found deficient.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The DGP, however, clarified that the focus of the police is not a figure based targets, but to completely break the supply chains to make drugs unavailable across the state. CPs\/SSPs have already been directed to trace forward and backward linkages of the cases being registered under the NDPS act and take the cases to logical conclusion by exposing complete networks, he added.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pertinently, the 3-hours long meeting took place in two parts\u2014 with the review of district wise performance including number of FIRs registered, achievements and gaps were discussed with the respective Range IGPs\/DIGs and CPs\/SSPs in first part, while, in second part, field officers were asked to present their plan to eradicate drugs from their respective districts by May 31.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 DGP Gaurav Yadav said that, during the meeting, officers have also discussed various mechanisms and techniques to go after big fish and how to track them by leveraging use of technology as a force multiplier. \u201cWith criminals have been using cut-out techniques and virtual numbers to evade arrest, we have devised a foolproof strategy to catch such criminals using technical and human intelligence,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He said that Punjab Police has been giving special focus on the 755 identified drug hotspots with repeated targeted and effective CASO operations to ensure denial of excess to drugs in these vulnerable areas.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The DGP said that all the departments especially Health and Education of the Punjab Government have joined hands to wipe-out the scourge of drugs from the state. Punjab Government has been focusing on increasing the de-addiction capacity in the state to bring all the victims in mainstream, he added.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stressing on the need for maximum citizen participation, DGP Gaurav Yadav urged people of the state to make maximum use of Safe Punjab Anti-Drug Helpline \u20189779100200\u2019 to report drug traffickers anonymously, citing that every tip received on the Helpline is being monitored on daily basis and the Chief Minister has been personally reviewing the progress.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Meanwhile, with the ongoing \u2018Yudh Nashian Virudh\u2019 has completed 60 days, police teams have arrested 7889 drug smugglers after registering 4930 FIRs under the NDPS act since March 1, 2025, and recovered 325 kgs heroin, 100 quintals poppy husk, 157 kg opium, 95 kg ganja, 21.89 lakh tablets\/capsules\/pills and Rs 8.09 crores drug money from their possession.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
