This large-scale preventive action reflects the zero-tolerance policy of Jammu Police towards drug-related activities and street-level narcotic trafficking.

The drive was launched under the directions of SSP Jammu and executed under the supervision of SP City South, SDPO East and SDPO South, and on-ground execution by SHOs and ICPPs of South Zone.
