SRINAGAR, July 9, 2026:- In its sustained and relentless crackdown against the menace of drug trafficking and the infrastructure supporting the illegal narcotics trade, Srinagar Police participated in a comprehensive drug disposal drive under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
The drug disposal exercise was conducted at IGC Lassipora, where seized narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances connected with NDPS cases registered across Srinagar district were destroyed using scientific and legal procedures. The entire process was carried out by the Drug Disposal Committee in strict compliance with prescribed legal regulations, ensuring complete transparency, accountability, and environmental safety.
During the drug disposal drive, a substantial quantity of contraband was destroyed, including 113.646 kg of ganja, 2.133 kg of charas, 1.650 kg of poppy straw, and 881.52 grams of heroin. Additionally, authorities destroyed 28 bottles of Codeine Phosphate alongside one larger 1940 ml bottle, as well as 12,859 psychotropic tablets and a substantial quantity of psychotropic capsules.
