Punjab police have launched a significant crackdown on the supply chain of 'chitta', a banned substance, resulting in the arrest of several key suppliers. The operation targets the root sources of the trade rather than just end-users, aiming to disrupt the network operating within the state.
The arrests were made following intelligence inputs that pointed to specific individuals responsible for procuring and distributing the material. Police officials stated that the seized items and the detained suspects will be examined to trace the broader network involved in this illicit activity.
