New Delhi, Feb 15 (IANS) An interstate ganja supplier was arrested and 305 kg of the contraband valued at Rs 2 crore in the international market was recovered from his possession in the national capital, an official said here on Tuesday.
The accused was identified as Shyam Sundar, 29, a resident of Firozabad district in Uttar Pradesh.
Furnishing details, DCP (Dwarka) Shankar Choudhary said information was received on February 12 that some persons, engaged in the supply of ganja in the Najafgarh area, would come to supply the narcotic in a truck and if a trap was laid at Jhatikra road, they could be nabbed with a huge quantity of the contraband.
Accordingly, a team was constituted which laid a trap at the specified location on the intervening night of February 12-13 and the accused was apprehended.
During questioning, the accused revealed that the body of the recovered truck was modified by his associates to conceal the ganja during transportation.
"After the due formalities of the NDPS Act, his body search and the search of the truck was conducted and 61 packets of ganja (5 kg each) were found inside various specially designed cavities in the truck," the DCP said in a media briefing.
"The seized ganja packets were stored in 20 plastic sacks and weighed on an electronic weighing machine. Their total weight was found to be 305 kg. A case under sections 20 and 25 of the NDPS Act was registered at Chhawla police station and an investigation was taken up."
"During interrogation, the accused disclosed that he was supplying the ganja on the directions of one Wasim who is a resident of Muradabad, UP. He procured ganja from Burhanpur district in Odisha. Further investigation is on," the official added.
After failing to get any information about Gurdeep's whereabouts since he left Delhi a week ago, his uncle Shamsher Singh, who is also at Singhu, lodged the missing complaint at Kundli police station which falls under Sonepat district of Haryana and is very near the farmers' protest site.
Her resignation came hours after she was given water supply and sanitation, social security, women and child development, printing, and stationery departments in the new Cabinet led by Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi.
There is a Twitter war going on between senior BJP Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy and Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, the national secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) with allegations and counter allegations flying thick and fast against each other.
Terming Sidhu's resignation as sheer drama, Amarinder Singh said the move suggests that his former Cabinet colleague is preparing the ground to quit the Congress and join hands with some other party in the run-up to the Assembly polls scheduled next year.
The campaign will celebrate and curate innovative, sustainable and equitable climate solutions and actions being pioneered by young people in India. The focus is on strengthening engagement with governments and civil society for a more collaborative approach to climate action, a release said.
Traffic across Punjab and Haryana is likely to hit badly and see traffic disruptions for several hours as farmers, farm labourers, commission agents, trade and employee unions and activists of political parties squatted on national highways till 4 p.m.
