JAMMU: In an effort to combat the growing drug menace, the Jammu police carried out extensive operations throughout 2024, achieving significant success in its mission to curb narco-crimes in the area.
A police spokesperson said on Sunday that the department registered over 150 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and arrested over 240 people involved in drug trafficking.
“As many as 83 vehicles involved in these cases were also seized during this period,” he said, adding, “Around 153 FIRs were registered in heroin recovery cases alone and 246 people were arrested.”
Among those arrested, 19 hardcore drug peddlers were prosecuted under the strict NDPS PIT Act, reflecting the department’s zero-tolerance approach towards habitual offenders.
