ANANTNAG: In continuation of its sustained and uncompromising campaign against drug trafficking and the narcotics ecosystem, police in Anantnag has taken another decisive action against drug peddlers and individuals involved in illegal activities.

During a joint anti-encroachment drive conducted at Gawran Larnoo, Anantnag Police along with  Revenue Department and Forest Department demolished twin illegal shop structures belonging to two notorious drug peddlers, namely Asif Ali Pala son of Ali Mohammad Pala and Nisar Ahmad Kasana son of Bashir Ahmad Kasana, both residents of Mathindoo, Larnoo.

The action was taken after it was established that the said structures had been illegally constructed by encroaching upon forest land at Gawran. This action forms part of Police’s broader strategy to dismantle the narcotics ecosystem by targeting not only drug peddlers but also the illegal assets and infrastructure created through criminal activities.

Police reiterates its firm commitment towards making the district drug-free and warns all those involved in narcotics trafficking or supporting such activities that strict legal action will continue against them.
