Over the past 24 hours, police teams conducted special checking and naka (check-post) operations in sensitive areas across different police station jurisdictions within Nurpur district. During these operations, joint teams from Police Post Kotla and Police Post Nagrota Surian under Jawali Police Station, along with Police Post Sadwan under Nurpur Police Station, took coordinated action against illegal mining activities.
