Special DGP, Law and Order, Arpit Shukla, who joined SSP Guneet Singh Khurana in Rupnagar, said the CPs/SSPs were told to plan this operation in a meticulous manner in their districts and conduct raids at such areas, which have become safe haven for peddlers amid massive deployment of the police force.

The Special DGP said there were 906 drone sightings reported in all border districts since September 2019, of which 187 drones were seized.
