JAMMU: In an effort to combat the growing menace of drugs, Jammu police undertook extensive operations throughout 2024, achieving significant success in their mission to curb narco-crimes in the area.
A police spokesman on Sunday said the department registered over 150 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and arrested over 240 people involved in drug peddling.
“As many as 83 vehicles involved in these cases were also seized during this period,” he said, adding, “Around 153 FIRs were registered in heroin recovery cases alone and 246 people were arrested.”
Among those arrested, 19 hardcore drug peddlers were booked under the stringent PIT NDPS Act, reflecting the department’s zero-tolerance approach toward habitual offenders.
