On May 13, 2026, local administration with police support demolished an illegally constructed house built by Sukhdev, son of Gurdial Chand, resident of Ward No. 09, Tehsil Indora, District Kangra (H.P.), on government temple land. Authorities confirmed that Sukhdev is a habitual drug trafficker with multiple cases registered against him under the NDPS Act.
Past Major Action: Earlier, on September 21, 2025, Nurpur Police registered FIR No. 120/25 at Police Station Damtal under Sections 21 and 29 of the NDPS Act.
