Anti-narcotics operations in Anantnag

Overview

Anantnag police leadership initiated a strategic review of security and crime operations, with a specific emphasis on a “zero-tolerance approach” toward drug trafficking. Senior Superintendent of Police Amod Ashok Nagpure directed officers to target the financial networks and properties associated with narcotics suppliers.

Following these directives, police conducted a major Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) in Waghama, targeting 20 locations and resulting in the detention of 13 suspected peddlers. Concurrently, the Narcotics Control Bureau identified two primary heroin smuggling routes into Jammu and Kashmir—one direct from Pakistan via the Uri sector and an indirect route through Punjab. Recent seizures include 6.920 kg of heroin, including a 522-gram recovery from a passenger bus in Samba.
