Jammu : In a bid to curb the growing drug problem, Jammu Police has launched “Operation Clean” in Rajeev Nagar, an area notorious for illegal activities. The operation, conducted under the jurisdiction of Police Station Bahu Fort, is part of the broader anti-drug campaign aimed at dismantling drug networks and restoring safety in the region.
High-Level Coordination and Tactical Execution:
The crackdown was carried out under the direct supervision of SSP Jammu, with a specialized team led by SP South and SDPO City East, supported by SHO Bahu Fort, SHO Bagh-e-Bahu, and ICPP Narwal. Law enforcement officers conducted extensive house-to-house searches, particularly targeting residences of suspected drug peddlers.
As a result of the operation, twelve individuals found in suspicious circumstances were picked up for questioning. These individuals were subsequently bound down by the Executive Magistrate First Class (EMIC) as part of the legal process to curb their activities.
A Community-Centric Approach to Fighting Drugs:
The latest action underscores Jammu Police’s commitment to eliminating the drug trade and ensuring public safety. Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious drug-related activities, assuring that the identity of informants will be strictly protected.
Public response to the operation has been largely positive, with citizens and social media users praising the proactive stance of Jammu Police. Many have called for sustained and intensified efforts to prevent drug-related crimes and safeguard the future of the youth.
Broader Context: Rising Drug Concerns in Jammu
Jammu has seen an alarming rise in drug abuse and trafficking in recent years, with certain areas emerging as hotspots for illegal trade. Law enforcement agencies have stepped up their operations, but the challenge remains multifaceted, involving not just policing but also community awareness, rehabilitation efforts, and strict legal action against offenders.
What’s Next?
“Operation Clean” is expected to continue with more raids and stricter enforcement in identified areas. The authorities are also strengthening intelligence networks to track the supply chain of narcotics and identify key players behind the drug trade.
With a zero-tolerance policy and active community participation, Jammu Police remains firm in its resolve to eradicate the drug menace and protect the youth from falling prey to addiction.
