The Gujarat Anti‑Terrorism Squad has intensified its operations, pushing drug syndicates to relocate their activities southwards and prompting the emergence of new smuggling routes.
The Gujarat Anti‑Terrorism Squad (ATS) has stepped up its crackdown on drug trafficking networks within the state. Recent operations have reportedly forced several syndicates to abandon their established routes and shift operations toward southern regions.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the intensified pressure from ATS has disrupted the traditional supply chains, leading to the emergence of new smuggling corridors. The shift is expected to complicate enforcement efforts and may prompt further adaptations by the criminal groups.
Law enforcement officials have indicated that the ATS will continue to monitor the evolving patterns and coordinate with other agencies to curb the spread of illicit drugs. The move underscores the state's commitment to tackling drug-related crime at all levels.
