So far 52 youths from Garhshankar sub-division have been sent to different de-addiction centres : DSP Jaspreet Singh
Hoshiarpur/Daljit Ajanoha : Immovable property worth Rs 61 lakh and movable property worth Rs 2 lakh of two drug smuggler brothers Neeraj Kumar and Sanjeev Kumar, residents of village Haveli Road, Thana Mahilpur, have been frozen. DSP Garhshankar Jaspreet Singh said that this action has been taken under the government’s war against drugs campaign. He said that both the drug smugglers are currently lodged in jail and after coming out of jail last time, they had started drug smuggling again. The police was keeping an eye on them for a long time. After a thorough investigation, the police have frozen their property. Giving information about the campaign against drugs, he said that under the leadership of Deputy Speaker Jai Krishna Singh Rodi, he is making people aware about the evils of drugs by holding daily meetings in 5/6 villages of his constituency and similarly, under the leadership of MP Dr. Raj Kumar Chabbewal and MLA Dr. Ishak Kumar, he is also holding meetings in some villages of Mahilpur. He said that under that campaign, he is getting full support from the people. Those who earlier considered their family member trapped in drug addiction as a disgrace and did not come forward, now due to the efforts being made by the police, they come forward for treatment without any hesitation and also give information about drug smugglers without any fear. He appealed to the youth not to be misled about the property and livelihood of such people because such earnings mostly cause loss and only the government has the right over it. On this occasion, police station chief Parwinder Jeet Pal Singh and his team members Gurnek Singh, Sukhwinder Singh, Satnam Singh, Ramandeep Kaur Sub Inspector, Amarjit Singh, Sukhwinder Singh, Sukhpreet Singh and other employees were present.
