Srinagar, Sep 13
A major narcotics smuggling racket was successfully busted by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district with the arrest of three accused and seizure of over 10 kg 'charas' (contraband).
The three accused, who were arrested, included the supplier and two habitual offenders.
The operation led to the seizure of about 10.735 kgs of charas.
The establishment of the NCB office in Srinagar forms part of the Union Government's strategic initiative to bolster narcotics enforcement in Jammu and Kashmir.
Security forces and preventive agencies have been aggressively going against drug smugglers and drug peddlers, as it is believed that the funds generated from hawala money rackets and drug smuggling are finally used to sustain terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir
