Makdi Village Heroes Foil Heroin Smuggling Near LoC

Five residents of Jammu and Kashmir's Makdi village have been rewarded for stopping an attempt to smuggle nearly 10 kg of heroin from across the Line of Control. These brave villagers intercepted smugglers in April, leading to the heroin seizure, and were rewarded with Rs 4 lakh by the police.

Five residents of Jammu and Kashmir's Makdi village have been recognized for their extraordinary bravery in thwarting an attempt to smuggle approximately 10 kg of heroin across the Line of Control, an official stated on Friday. The police headquarters have allocated Rs 4 lakh as a reward for these villagers' courageous and patriotic actions, according to a police spokesperson.

Makdi is situated ahead of the anti-infiltration obstacle system near the LoC in the Nowshera sector. Despite the potential dangers, the villagers intercepted four narcotics smugglers in April, resulting in the seizure of nearly 10 kg of heroin, the spokesperson added.

The smugglers were subsequently arrested, and further efforts are being made to identify and apprehend others involved in cross-border narcotics smuggling.
