In late August 2026, the Central Bureau of Narcotics executed a targeted multi-state crackdown against the illegal diversion and trafficking of pharmaceutical drugs. The operation intercepted a major consignment along the high-risk Chandigarh-Baddi route, a prominent pharma corridor between Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. The seized truck contained 120 master cartons of psychotropic medicines with deliberately erased batch numbers and expiry dates to evade tracking. This enforcement action forms a critical component of the government's broader mandate to curb drug abuse and dismantle illicit supply chains.
