Jalandhar Police & Municipal Team Demolish Illegal Charitable Hospital on Kapurthala Road

Jalandhar police, in coordination with the municipal corporation, used a bulldoiser to bring down a section of a charitable hospital that was under construction in the Bawa Khel area of Basti Bawa on Kapurthala Road. Authorities said the project was financed through proceeds of drug trafficking, prompting a swift enforcement action.
The demolition was carried out after a joint inspection that confirmed the building lacked the necessary clearances and was being erected illegally. Officials emphasized that the structure violated zoning regulations and posed a risk to public safety.
Following the demolition, the city commissioner announced that the cleared site would be repurposed as a government building, underscoring the administration's commitment to reclaiming assets linked to illicit activities.
The operation reflects a broader crackdown on drug‑related money laundering schemes in Punjab, where law‑enforcement agencies have intensified surveillance of suspicious construction projects.
No injuries were reported, and the demolition concluded without further incident, according to police statements.
