BARAMULLA: Continuing its sustained crackdown against drug trafficking and allied illegal activities under the ongoing Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan, police in Baramulla, in coordination with the Revenue authorities and Gulmarg Development Authority (GDA), carried out decisive action against individuals involved in narcotics-related offences in the Tangmarg area.

In a joint operation conducted at Ferozpora Tangmarg, a shop belonging to notorious drug peddler Imtiyaz Ahmad Mir son of Ab Majid Mir resident of Ferozpora Tangmarg was demolished by Police along with Revenue officials. The action forms part of the intensified campaign aimed at dismantling the support structures of drug trafficking networks and sending a strong message against the menace of narcotics.

In a parallel action, North Wind Cafe, an outsourced property of the Gulmarg Development Authority (GDA), was sealed today by the Chief Executive Officer, GDA. The lessee of the said property namely Yaseen Khanday is an accused in an NDPS case registered at Police Post Wagoora.
