‘Cops seized 2,179kg drugs in Haryana’

CHANDIGARH: Following an intensive crackdown on drug peddlers, Haryana Police seized 2,179kg of narcotic substances worth crores of rupees during the four Covid-19 lockdowns in the state.
Director general of police (DGP) Manoj Yadava on Sunday said police had a plan to keep a tab on all illegal and unlawful activities by enhancing night domination, intensive patrolling and laying check posts.
“Restriction on public movement also gave our men opportunities to make targeted efforts which proved a strong deterrent for peddlers and their sympathisers,” he said.
The Haryana Police chief said in the two months of lockdown, 326 cases were registered under NDPS Act and 506 accused arrested on the charges of possessing drugs between March 23 and May 23.
