Budgam, July 18, KNT: In a major escalation of its campaign against narcotics, the District Administration Budgam, in coordination with District Police Budgam, on Saturday demolished three illegally constructed properties allegedly belonging to drug peddlers in the Magam sub-division.
The action is part of the district’s sustained drive to dismantle illegal infrastructure and assets allegedly linked to narcotics-related activities and send a strong message against drug trafficking.
