Continuing its war on drugs, 'Yudh Nashian Virudh', aimed at eradicating drug menace from state, the Punjab Police conducted raids at 501 locations on Thursday leading to the arrest of 75 drug smugglers after registration of 53 first information reports (FIRs) across the state.

After visiting the site of the blasts, the DGP said the triggering mechanism or detonator was not found which means it was a crudely-assembled low-intensity explosive device.
