In a statement on Monday, Director General of Police (DGP) Manoj Yadava said: "Home Minister Anil Vij had instructed the Police Department to eliminate the organised criminals, drug peddlers and other offenders from the state."

In the first week, from November 20 to 27, the police had arrested 88 accused of the drug peddling and 75 cases are registered against them.

The DGP also warned the organised criminals and those involved in peddling drugs either join the mainstream or else leave the state.
