The Punjab Police conducted a special vehicle checking drive, involving 10,000 personnel in all the 28 police districts to check the movement of anti-social elements as well as drug peddlers.
Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav states that over 800 nakas – including 56 inter-state, 250 inter-district, 53 hi-tech and 427 city sealing were set up in the state with an aim to make Punjab free from drugs and gangsters.
DGP Yadav ensured his own presence at the spot and conducted random visits to different checkpoints in the Ropar Range.
All senior officers in the rank of additional director general of police and inspector general of police were deputed in each district to personally supervise it.
The DGP said during the operation, a thorough search of suspected vehicles and persons was conducted while ensuring minimum inconvenience to the general public.
“We had strictly instructed all the police personnel to deal with every commuter in a friendly and polite manner while checking their vehicles during the course of this operation,” he added.
The drive was conducted in a synchronised manner across the state, making it the largest nakabandi excercise to be carried out in recent times by any state police at this scale.
