Srinagar, Jan 21(NVI): In a decisive move against the growing menace of drug trafficking, Srinagar Police today successfully intercepted a large consignment of illegal drugs that was being smuggled through a courier service in the Karan Nagar area of Srinagar
The operation, which was based on credible intelligence, was carried out at the premises of Shree Maruti Courier Service located in the Chota Bazar area of Srinagar.
The police conducted a thorough search of the courier office after obtaining the necessary legal approvals. This led to the discovery and seizure of a significant quantity of illegal drugs, including:
Mavrix-T Codeine Syrup: 220 bottles, known for its abuse as an intoxicating substance.
Spasmoproxyvon Capsules: 15 boxes, with 7 strips per box, commonly misused as a painkiller with addictive properties.
Pregabalin Tablets: 60 strips, often exploited for its psychoactive effects.
A case has been registered under FIR No. 01/2025 at Police Station Karan Nagar, and an extensive investigation is underway. The police are working to uncover both the forward and backward linkages of this trafficking network, aiming to identify and dismantle the entire supply chain.
In addition to the investigation, a manhunt has been launched to apprehend the individuals responsible for orchestrating this illegal trade. Authorities believe that the seizure is part of a larger trafficking operation, and efforts are being made to trace and capture all those involved.
Speaking about the operation, a senior police official highlighted the alarming trend of drug abuse in the region and reiterated the commitment of Srinagar Police to eradicate the drug menace. “This seizure is a significant step in our ongoing fight against narcotics trafficking. We urge citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities. Combating the drug problem requires collective effort from both the police and the community,” the official said.
This operation underscores the increasing sophistication of drug traffickers, who are now exploiting courier services to transport illegal substances. The police have intensified surveillance and are implementing stricter measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
The crackdown has been widely appreciated by the local community, which has long expressed concerns about the rising drug problem in the region. Srinagar Police have reassured the public of their continued efforts to build a safer, drug-free society. (News Vibes of India)
