Intensified Anti-Drug Campaign
This successful operation is part of a broader, district-wide initiative to dismantle the drug menace in Rajasthan. District Superintendent of Police Amit Kumar (IPS) emphasized that the administration is currently executing a special drive aimed at curbing every stage of the drug trade, including:
- The manufacturing of illegal substances.
