HANDWARA: In a strong and decisive crackdown against drug networks, police in Handwara today demolished two shops and two residential rooms belonging to notorious NDPS accused Ab Rehman Bhat son of Gh Ahmad Bhat resident of Shartpora Langate, constructed illegally on Kahcharie land, involved in case FIR No. 394/2017 U/S 8/20 NDPS Act of Police Station Handwara, under the ongoing Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan.

The demolition drive was carried out in the presence of the Executive Magistrate 1st Class and other concerned officials after completing all legal formalities. The property was identified as being linked to narcotics-related activities and formed part of the broader offensive against drug traffickers and their support infrastructure.

This action reflects the firm resolve of Police to dismantle the ecosystem of drug trafficking by targeting not only the offenders but also the illegal assets and networks sustaining the menace.

Police reiterated its commitment to continue aggressive action against drug peddlers and anti-social elements involved in narcotics trade to ensure a safer and drug-free society, particularly for the younger generation.

The general public has once again been appealed to cooperate with Police by sharing credible information related to drug peddling or substance abuse. Strict legal action will continue against all those involved in destroying the future of society through drugs.
