Panchkula police destroys drugs worth Rs 1.53 crore

The entire process was conducted under strict supervision to ensure it was lawful and secure. DCP Srishti Gupta, ACP Vikram Nehra and Inspector Sukhbir Singh from Raipur Rani police station, among other officers, were present during the disposal.

The substances were seized in 48 separate cases over time and had an estimated market value of Rs 1,53,29,570.

During the event, DCP Srishti Gupta too interacted with local residents of Bagwala and sought feedback on the drug situation in their area. She urged citizens to report any information related to drug trafficking or illegal narcotics activities directly to the police. She also assured the public that those struggling with addiction would be provided access to treatment, rehabilitation, and counselling services. “This is not just the police’s battle — it’s a collective fight in which every citizen’s participation is crucial,” she said.

Commissioner Sibash Kabiraj called the initiative a significant step in the fight against drug abuse. He reaffirmed that the Panchkula police remains fully committed to continuing strict, transparent, and sensitive action against narcotics. “Drugs are eating away at the fabric of society. Eliminating them requires a united front involving the administration, community, and each citizen,” he stated.
