Abohar, November 21
A sudden rise in smuggling of poppy husk and other narcotics has put the police in Abohar, Hanumangarh and Sriganganagar on alert.
In 2016, only 18 gm of smack was seized in Hanumangarh, whereas the seizure amounts to 2,500 gm this year to date. Most of the drug had been arranged from Delhi, revealed peddlers. Hanumangarh SP Preeti Jain said enhanced vigil in these areas was behind the heavy seizures made recently. The police have laid nakas on all roads that connect Rajasthan to Punjab and Haryana to check illegal activity. A police team seized 500 gm smack from Amrik Singh in Silwala village, which was arranged from a Mozambican in Delhi. — OC
