Punjab Police busts ‘major' drug trafficking cartel with links to Pakistan-based smugglers, 6 kg heroin seized
In a major crackdown against cross-border narco-smuggling, the Punjab Police said on Saturday it busted "a well-organised heroin trafficking cartel with direct links to Pakistan-based smugglers." Police said they recovered 6.106 Kg heroin and two motorcycles during the operation. They said key accused Sarbjit alias Joban, who was operating from a border-area village, "is in direct contact with notorious smuggler Rana across the border." Sarbjit was arrested along with a juvenile, with 1 Kg heroin recovered from them, they added. "His interrogation leads to the arrest of two more smugglers — Dharam Singh and Kulbir Singh — from Ajnala, with over 5 Kg heroin seized," police said. They also informed that FIRs were registered at PS Airport and PS Chheharta under relevant sections of the NDPS Act. Earlier on July 24, the Punjab Police conducted raids at 400 locations, leading to the arrest of 85 drug smugglers after registration of 60 FIRs across the state, Information and Public Relations Department, Punjab said in an official statement. With this, the number of total drug smugglers arrested has reached 23,237 in 145 days, it stated.

Notably, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has asked the Commissioners of Police, Deputy Commissioners and Senior Superintendent of Police to make Punjab a drug-free state. The Punjab government has also constituted a 5-member Cabinet Sub-Committee, led by the state's Finance Minister, Harpal Singh Cheema, to monitor the war against drugs.

Pakistan FM Endorses Trumps Ceasefire Claim During Meeting With Rubio In US
New Delhi: Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has endorsed former US President Donald Trump's claim of playing a key role in de-escalating tensions between India and Pakistan earlier this year. During a visit to Washington, Dar 'appreciated' both Trump and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for their efforts in facilitating a ceasefire following heightened military activity between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. According to an official statement released by Pakistan's Foreign Office following Dar's meeting with Rubio on Friday, the minister 'appreciated the pivotal role' of Trump and Rubio in de-escalating tensions between Pakistan and India by facilitating a ceasefire. The statement aligns with Trump's repeated public assertions that he helped prevent war between India and Pakistan after conflict erupted in May following India's launch of Operation Sindoor. However, India has firmly denied these claims. The US State Department also issued a statement following the Dar–Rubio meeting, though it notably did not mention India or the ceasefire. Trump had claimed credit for brokering the ceasefire in a May 10 social media post, saying that his administration engaged in talks with both sides to prevent further escalation. India, however, disputes that US intervention led to the ceasefire. According to Indian government sources, the ceasefire understanding followed a request from the Pakistani Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), who contacted his Indian counterpart on May 10 to propose a halt to hostilities. India maintains that all issues between New Delhi and Islamabad must be resolved bilaterally, rejecting any third-party involvement. Operation Sindoor, launched by India on May 7, was a retaliatory strike following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which left 26 people, mostly tourists, dead. India targeted nine terror facilities in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and across the border, after The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) front, claimed responsibility for the attack. TRF has since been declared a designated terror group by the US. Hostilities between India and Pakistan escalated into missile and drone strikes across three days starting May 7. A ceasefire was eventually announced on May 10.
