Dehradun police intensified action against the illegal drug trade in the city.[1] The SSP Dehradun ordered checking campaigns across separate police-station areas.[1] The action stretched from Basant Vihar in Dehradun to Rishikesh, marking the two ends of the reported drive.[1] The drive was presented as a drug crackdown in which ganja, smack and liquor were seized and four people were arrested.[1]

Police arrested four drug traffickers during the checking campaign rather than in a single raid.[1] The seizures from the accused included 1 kg 102 grams of ganja.[1] Smack and illicit liquor were recovered in the same drive alongside the ganja.[1] The four arrests cover the combined narcotics and liquor recoveries rather than the cannabis seizure alone.[1]

The drive thus combined narcotics and illicit-liquor enforcement across the station areas under the campaign.[1] Police counted the four accused across the areas covered rather than at one spot.[1]
