Punjab Police Busts Trans-Border Narco Syndicate, Seizes Huge Drug Haul
Chandigarh: In a significant blow to the drug trade, the Punjab Police have successfully dismantled a trans-border narco syndicate with the arrest of three individuals, including a key figure identified as Gurbax alias Lala. The police seized 1 kg of methamphetamine (ice), 2.45 kg of heroin, and 520 grams of the precursor chemical pseudoephedrine.
The operation comes amidst the state government’s ongoing war against drugs, as directed by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann. With the disruption of traditional drug supply chains, smugglers are increasingly resorting to manufacturing synthetic drugs like ice using precursor chemicals.
