Ludhiana, 25 February — In a first-of-its-kind action, Punjab Police demolished the illegally built house of a drug smuggler in Talwandi village near Ladhowal, Ludhiana, on Monday night as part of the state’s War on Drugs campaign.
Bulldozers were brought in to raze the property belonging to Sonu, who has six drug trafficking cases registered against him in the past three years.
A senior police official called the demolition a landmark step in Punjab’s fight against drugs. “There will be no leniency for those involved in drug trafficking and organised crime,” he said.
Punjab Police have intensified their crackdown on drug networks, with officials stating that similar operations will target other criminals with illegal properties linked to illicit activities.
