Punjab Police Cite Surge in Out-of-State Pharma Drugs as New Challenge

Punjab police have flagged a noticeable rise in the movement of pharmaceutical drugs into the state from neighboring regions. Officials say the trend represents a new operational challenge, differing from traditional narcotics concerns. The police are reportedly reviewing existing surveillance and interdiction mechanisms to address the cross‑border flow. While details on the scale of the shipments remain limited, authorities emphasize the need for coordinated action with law‑enforcement agencies in other states. The development underscores evolving patterns in drug trafficking that require adaptive policing strategies.
