Shiad leader Simranjit Singh Mann raised concerns about the Border Security Force's handling of drug distribution in Amritsar, questioning its operational methods.
Shiad president Simranjit Singh Mann addressed a gathering in Amritsar, alleging that the Border Security Force (BSF) is not effectively curbing the supply of narcotics in the city. He said the force's operational procedures appear lax and enable drug traffickers to operate with impunity.
Mann demanded a thorough review of BSF's anti‑drug strategies and called for greater accountability from the security establishment. He urged the state government to intervene and ensure that law‑enforcement agencies act decisively against drug networks.
The BSF has not issued an official comment on the allegations, and local authorities have said they will monitor the situation closely. Punjab continues to grapple with a surge in drug-related incidents, prompting heightened scrutiny of policing methods.
Analysts note that political leaders often highlight security lapses ahead of upcoming elections, but the issue remains a genuine concern for residents who fear the impact of drug abuse on communities.
