Drug Dealers in Punjab Turn to Pizza‑Style Home Delivery, Says Arunaa Chaudhary

A new trend in Punjab sees illicit narcotics being dispatched to consumers through home‑delivery services that function like pizza or burger outlets, according to a report by Arunaa Chaudhary in Amar Ujala.
Police officials say dealers are exploiting online platforms and courier networks to mask their operations, allowing customers to place orders with a few clicks, much like ordering food.
Law‑enforcement agencies have begun monitoring these deliveries and warn that the practice could deepen substance‑abuse problems in the state, with investigations underway to identify the operators behind the scheme.
The emergence of such a delivery model reflects a broader shift in how illegal substances are marketed, prompting calls for tighter regulation of courier services and digital marketplaces.
