81 kg heroin, 51 kg opium seized in 13 days, says Punjab minister Cheema. 1,259 first information reports (FIRs) have been registered under the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS), and 1,759 drug traffickers have been arrested. Around 7.5 lakh intoxicating tablets and 970 kg of poppy husk along with other synthetic drugs have been seized by the police. The properties of 29 people associated with drug trafficking have been demolished. The district administration of Amritsar demolished the house of notorious drug smuggler Ajay Kumar Billi. The demolition was carried out using a JCB machine and workers. He emphasised the district administration will continue to take action against drug traffickers until they either reform or leave Punjab. He accused the previous Akali-BJP and Congress governments of conspiring to trap the youth in drug addiction under a well-thought plan. He said that no one involved in drugs would be spared and in the coming days all such individuals will be behind bars. The Cabinet sub-committee of five ministers, led by him, has been working to properly execute this campaign. This committee will hold a meeting in Chandigarh on Friday to discuss and strategise further actions.
