According to a newspaper report published on February 28, the Punjab Police have been razing the properties of alleged drug suppliers in their latest measure against drugs. Last week, the Ludhiana city police said they demolished illegal constructions linked to two drug peddlers and have identified 78 more such properties that will be razed.
HC issued a notice to the Punjab Government, Punjab's Secretary of Transport Department, Commissioner of Ludhiana Police, Zonal Director of National Control Bureau, Chandigarh.
