Punjab Police have registered 18–20 FIRs and rounded up 50–52 suspects during an anti-drug operation across eight identified hotspots in Ludhiana on October 24. Assistant Commissioner of Police Rupinder Singh said the drive is part of the state government’s ongoing “War Against Drugs” campaign, supported by senior police officials. Authorities are assessing the operation’s progress and the recoveries made. The crackdown comes amid political controversy over Punjab’s drug problem and demands for justice following anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota’s killing on October 13. The CBI has registered an FIR in the murder case. (PC: ANI)
