Amritsar, April 15 (IANS). Police action against drug addiction goes on in Punjab. Meanwhile, a campaign has been launched to prevent drug trafficking in the central prison of Amritsar. During this time, 75 cell phones were restored. Special DGP of Punjab, Shashi Prabha Dwivededi, while talking to Ians on Tuesday, said a control operation is being performed in jail. 75 Cell phones have been recovered from prison for the past one and a half months. Earlier, when I did a surprise inspection of the jail, about 40 phones were recovered at the time. In addition, 37 SIM cards were also recovered. He said: “There is more rigor of the prison administration, which is why they (prisoners) can bring any goods from the outside. Recovery was reduced even during March. We have fed this campaign to stop drug smuggling, and it has been repaired in the meantime.” Punjab Cabinet Minister Harpal Singh Ceema said on March 11 that the government had launched a war on drugs from February 24, which aims to eliminate drugs from Punjab. This campaign is waged on a large scale and the results also come out. He shared the figures that 1072 cases have been registered until now (in March) and 1,485 people have been arrested. During this period, the police repaired 76 kg of heroin, 950 Quintal Bhukki, 50 kg opium and drugs worth Rs 50 Lakh. Meanwhile, Punjab governor Gulab Chand Qataria marched on foot in the border areas against drug addiction in Punjab. He said that the Holy Land Punjab, known for bravery, sacrifice and love for the country, will be saved from the grip of drugs and will not be allowed to be destroyed. The Punjab government is now running a campaign against drugs on a war foot. Recently, the state minister of the state, Bhagwant Mann, while addressing a program in Mohali, called on the people that if someone was seen drugs, then immediately notified them. He will take action and the identity of the informant will be kept secret. He also said that the state government waged a war against drug addiction in Punjab. This decision is not a decision to be made one day, it took a long time to take it. -Ians FM/CBT Share this story Tags
