It resulted a huge consignment busted by police at various locations in recent days from Uri along the Line of Control (LoC) to other parts of Baramulla district over the last few days.

Notably, 284 drug peddlers have been arrested and 34 notorious drug peddlers have been booked under Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, (PIT-NDPS Act). The dedicated teams deployed by the Baramulla Police consist of experienced officers and undercover agents who will discreetly gather intelligence on the drug mafia's operations, networks, and supply chains.
