"This operation has been met with appreciation from the local community, as it marks a significant step in curbing the use of properties derived from illicit drug trafficking in the Police District Pulwama," read the statement.

Earlier in April, the Jammu-Kashmir police seized a property worth lakhs under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, as per police.

The property was used by terrorists for carrying out anti-national activities. The seizure was made in South Kashmir's Pulwama district.

The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) enacted in 1967 empowers law enforcement to detain individuals involved in unlawful activities posing a threat to the state.

The law's main objective is to prevent unlawful activities that threaten India's sovereignty and integrity. (ANI)
