GANDERBAL: Continuing its sustained campaign against the menace of narcotic substances, J&K Police, in close coordination with the Excise Department, today conducted a Wild Bhang Destruction Drive along the Chappargund–Nunner axis of District Ganderbal.

During the drive, extensive patches of naturally grown wild cannabis (bhang) were identified and systematically destroyed to prevent their misuse and curb the illegal production and trafficking of narcotic substances. The joint operation forms part of the ongoing efforts to eliminate the sources of narcotic cultivation and strengthen the fight against drug abuse in the district. The operation was carried out with active participation of police personnel and officials from the Excise Department, who jointly surveyed vulnerable areas and ensured the complete destruction of wild cannabis vegetation.

Police remains firmly committed to the vision of a Drug-Free Society and will continue to take proactive measures against narcotics in collaboration with all stakeholder departments. The general public is urged to cooperate with law enforcement agencies by sharing information regarding illegal cultivation, trafficking, or abuse of narcotic substances. The identity of informants shall be kept strictly confidential.
