Four 'illegal' houses of drug smugglers razed in Punjab's Moga
Chandigarh, Apr 26 (PTI): Four "illegally" constructed houses of notorious drug smugglers were demolished by police and district administration officials at Daulewala village in Moga here on Saturday, according to an official statement.
The action, under the supervision of Moga Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ajay Gandhi, was taken as part of the Punjab government's continuing action against drug smugglers under its 'Yudh Nashiyan Virudh' campaign.
"The demolished houses, illegally built on government land, belonged to notorious drug smugglers Paramjit Singh, Lakhwinder Singh, Boota Singh and Rajwinder Kaur, who were involved in multiple cases registered under the provisions of Indian Penal Code and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act," the statement said.
"Strong action by the district police sends a clear message that Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann-led Punjab government has zero tolerance for drug-trafficking," it added.
SSP Ajay Gandhi warned the drug smugglers to stop illegal activities or face similar action.
He reiterated that the state government is committed to eradicating the drug menace and will not spare anyone involved in this illegal trade.
Ajay Gandhi appealed to the people to report any information about drug smugglers to the nearest police station.

Pakistan announces opening of its airspace for all kinds of traffic after ceasefire with India
Islamabad, May 10 (PTI): Pakistan announced on Saturday that it was opening its airspace for all kinds of traffic, shortly after the announcement of a ceasefire with India.
Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) made the announcement as apparently normalcy returns to the country after the raging tension with India seems to be ending.
“All airports in the country are available for normal flight operations. Passengers are requested to contact the relevant airline for the latest schedule of their flights,” the PAA said.
It also said that Pakistan's airspace has been fully restored for all types of flights, and all airports in the country are available for normal flight operations.
Pakistan’s airspace remained closed for a certain duration and routes due to the tension with India, which hampered regular air traffic, resulting in inconvenience for passengers.
The decision to open airspace showed that clouds on the horizon of Pakistan and India are lifting.
