Punjab Government’s Major Crackdown on Drug Mafia: Illegal House Demolished in Talwandi
In a significant action under the War on Drugs campaign, the Punjab government has intensified its crackdown on drug traffickers. As part of this drive, Punjab Police took decisive action late last night, demolishing the illegal house of a known drug mafia operative, Sonu, in Talwandi village.
The operation was carried out using a bulldozer, marking another step in the state’s aggressive approach toward eliminating the drug trade.Sonu has been allegedly involved in drug trafficking for the past three years and has six FIRs registered against him. Authorities had been monitoring his activities for a long time, and after gathering sufficient evidence, they moved forward with the demolition of his illegally constructed house.
This action is in line with the government’s policy of not only arresting drug peddlers but also dismantling their illegal assets, which serve as hubs for their operations.The Punjab government, led by the Mann administration, has been adopting a zero-tolerance approach toward drug-related crimes. In recent months, multiple crackdowns have been carried out against drug traffickers, with properties being seized and demolished.
Officials have reiterated that such actions will continue to curb the influence of the drug mafia in the state.According to police sources, Sonu had been a key player in drug distribution networks operating in the region. His name surfaced in multiple investigations, linking him to a wider syndicate involved in smuggling and distribution.
The police have also identified other individuals connected to him, and further actions are expected in the coming days.
The demolition drive has sent a strong message to those involved in the drug trade that the government will not tolerate such activities.
Local residents have expressed mixed reactions to the move, with some supporting the strict measures while others believe that rehabilitation efforts should also be strengthened to address the root causes of drug addiction and trafficking.Officials have assured that the War on Drugs campaign will continue with full force, targeting not only drug traffickers but also their financial networks and illegal properties.
Punjab Police has urged the public to cooperate by reporting drug-related activities to help create a drug-free Punjab.
