Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh Police has initiated 'Operation Savera' in the Saharanpur region.
This operation aims to transition society from the darkness of addiction to the light of a drug-free life.
The drive has been launched on the instructions of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and DGP Rajeev Krishna.
The operation will target illegal drug manufacturers, intermediaries, suppliers, and peddlers across the three districts of the Saharanpur range. The police will conduct rigorous actions against those involved in the illicit drug trade. The efforts will be made to dismantle the networks of criminals involved in
drug trafficking
by targeting both forward and backward linkages.
Strict legal measures will be taken against the mafias dealing in narcotics and psychotropic substances.
The operation will involve the confiscation of properties acquired by criminals through illegal drug trade.
Special awareness campaigns will be conducted to educate society, particularly students, about the adverse effects of drug abuse.
Krishna said a review of ongoing cases under the NDPS Act will be conducted to ensure convictions of the guilty.
Legal proceedings under the PITNDPS Act will be initiated against the main kingpins of the illegal drug trade. Visits to de-addiction centers will be organized to gather information about the facilities and challenges faced by individuals undergoing treatment. Coordination with relevant departments will be established to provide relief to those in rehabilitation.
