CHERSOO, AWANTIPORA: Under the ongoing Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyaan, Police in Awantipora, in coordination with the civil administration, demolished an illegally constructed commercial property comprising two shops and a cowshed belonging to a notorious drug peddler, Nisar Ahmad Khanday son of Ghulam Hassan Khanday resident of Katipora, Chersoo.

The demolition was carried out in the presence of the Tehsildar Awantipora, other revenue officials, and police officers after following due legal procedures.
