Acting on crucial intelligence, a team of Drug Control Officers under the supervision of Deputy Drugs Controller Kashmir, Nighat Jabeen Shah, in collaboration with State Tax Officer Irshad Assad Jan and his team from State Tax Department Central Enforcement Srinagar (Airport), successfully intercepted a consignment of illegal
abortifacient kits at the Srinagar Airport cargo building.
Based on specific information, a joint team of officials conducted a thorough inspection of parcels arriving at the airport. Their vigilance paid-off when they identified a suspicious package containing abortifacient kits, estimated to be worth more than Rs. 3.0 lakh. The consignment was immediately seized and secured.
“This timely intervention has prevented the illegal circulation of these sensitive medicines within the Union Territory,” stated Deputy Drugs Controller, Kashmir.
Abortifacient kits are prescription drugs requiring specialized medical supervision for safe and responsible use. Unauthorized possession and sale of these drugs pose serious health risks to women and undermine established medical protocols.
