The repeated recoveries and consecutive NDPS cases within hours underline the aggressive strategy adopted by Udhampur Police to dismantle the narcotics network operating across the region.

Officials said the intensified drive aims to choke drug supply routes, identify peddlers and protect the youth from the dangerous grip of substance abuse.

The crackdown has sent a strong warning to drug traffickers and peddlers that Jammu and Kashmir Police is maintaining zero tolerance against narcotics and will continue its sustained offensive against the drug ecosystem.
