Batala, March 21 -- The police demolished the house of a drug smuggler, Jeevan Kumar, a resident of Gandhi Nagar Camp, in Batala on Thursday. Addressing mediapersons, SSP Suhail Qasim Mir said three cases were registered against the accused under the NDPS Act at various police stations.

"It is clear that he has been involved in drug smuggling for a long time. There are very clear instructions from the chief minister and the DGP that strict action be taken against anyone involved in the drug smuggling business," the SSP said.

According to the police, the action was taken under the state government's 'Yudh Nashiyan Virudh' campaign.
