Karnal police under Superintendent of Police Karan Goyal ran a special campaign against drug smugglers to protect young people from drugs.[1] Between 1 January and 13 November 2026, police registered 196 cases under the NDPS Act and arrested 358 accused people and sent them to jail.[1]

Police teams caught small suppliers and exposed bigger networks while seizing large consignments of drugs.[1] Police records show officers seized 603.460 kilograms of ganja leaf and 508.059 kilograms of poppy husk from the accused during the period, plus 2.087 kilograms of heroin and 2.015 kilograms of sulfa.[1] Raids also seized 51.385 kilograms of opium plants, 8,830 banned pills, 1,596 capsules and one MTP kit.[1]

Karnal police said they are moving beyond arrests to dismantle the full supply chain, directing all station areas and CIA teams to closely watch suspicious activity and habitual offenders.[1] Superintendent Karan Goyal appealed to citizens to inform police without fear if they learn of drug sale or smuggling nearby.[1] He assured that an informant’s name and identity would be kept fully secret.[1] He said making Karnal completely drug-free and securing the future of young people is the police’s top priority.[1]
