Airlines Gradually Restore Flights at Reopened Airports.

Punjab’s fight against drug abuse intensifies with the recent arrest of notorious smuggler Sukhwinder Singh alias Bindu by the State Special Operation Cell (SSOC) Amritsar. Bindu, wanted in multiple NDPS Act cases, was apprehended in Tarn Taran, yielding 500 grams of heroin and ₹1.20 lakh in drug money. Investigations reveal his deep involvement in cross-border drug trafficking, utilizing Pakistani smugglers to bring heroin into India.

His arrest marks a significant blow to the supply chain, disrupting the flow of narcotics in the region. Further investigation aims to dismantle the entire network, tracing the financial trail and identifying other involved individuals.

The operation underscores Punjab Police’s commitment to eradicating drug trafficking. The arrest highlights the ongoing battle against the pervasive drug problem and the collaborative efforts to disrupt supply networks and seize assets acquired through illegal means. Authorities are actively pursuing investigations to uncover deeper connections within the drug trade, aiming for a comprehensive crackdown on drug-related activities in the state.
