JAMMU, Feb 2: R R Swain, the director general of police for Jammu and Kashmir, has demanded that those who traffic in drugs within the Union Territory face rigorous and deliberate punishment. At this Thursday’s monthly crime review meeting, Swain declared, “The (narcotics) trade is extremely dangerous, as it not only destroys the younger generation but is also being used to generate funds to support terrorist activities.” He gave the officers orders to deal with the drug trafficking offenders in a severe and organised manner.According to a police spokesperson, the DGP also gave them instructions to keep track of drug users and dealers so that more thorough action may be taken. In addition to ordering the indexing of drivers and cars discovered to be involved in the transit of drugs, Swain put pressure on the officers to compile a “master list” of vehicles that committed offences on a regular basis. He highlighted on the categories of victims, peddlers and dealers and encouraged upon the cops to look forward and background linkages gaining from the past experiences.According to the spokesperson, the discussion covered a number of important topics related to enhancing the examination and resolution of criminal cases, including those involving drugs and the smuggling of cattle. “To improve the efficiency of crime disposal, we must create a comprehensive, up-to-date, and accurate database of the criminals,” stated the DGP. “The crime picture of a district or zone should highlight the rate of disposal and quality of disposal of the crime cases registered.” According to Swain, “a strong crime case database will aid in utilising the data for investigations.” The trade is frequently linked to other illegal activities, such as the transfer of criminals and illegal materials, so the DGP instructed the cops to take strict action against bovine smugglers.“Strict action must be initiated against the vehicle owners whose vehicles are repeatedly used for the trade,” he stated. To further incentivize the officers, the DGP declared that the best district and best police station will be awarded to those who perform exceptionally well in the investigations.
