Chandigarh, November 8

Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Monday took a stern note of the reports about drug sales at Rauli and Vajidpur villages of Moga and Ferozepur districts, respectively.

He directed the SSPs of both the districts to intervene and take strict action besides attaching the property of drug dealers.

He also asked them to initiate disciplinary action against the police officers who failed to take concrete action against drug smuggling. He asked the SSPs to take action and submit a report in three days.

Randhawa, who also holds the charge of the Home Department, said no laxity in dealing with drug-related cases would be tolerated and negligent police officers would not be spared.

He said that CM Charanjit Singh Channi had given strict instructions to all district police heads to adopt zero tolerance policy against drugs and no drug smuggler/supplier should be spared.
