Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has initiated a major reshuffle in the state's police force to combat the drug menace. Mann has ordered the transfer of at least 10,000 police personnel, including those from constable rank upwards, to break the nexus between police officials and drug peddlers. The decision was made following a meeting with SSPs and police officers from all districts in Chandigarh regarding law and order issues. Mann also called for strict action and immediate dismissal of police officials involved in drug dealings. AAP leader Malvinder Singh Kang stated that the transfers aim to prevent the creation of monopolies and nexuses by long-term postings.
