LAHORE: The Lahore Police Operations Wing has intensified city-wide search and combing operations across all six administrative divisions, executing targeted raids to eliminate illegal firearm networks, street dacoity gangs, and organized gambling dens. During operations conducted over 48 hours, officers recovered high-caliber illegal automatic weapons, unregistered handguns, live ammunition clips, and stolen motorbikes used in street snatching incidents. In tandem with physical ground checks, the Operations Wing launched a focused digital crackdown against individuals displaying weapons on social media platforms such as TikTok and Facebook. “The illegal display of weapons and the promotion of gun culture will not be tolerated in Lahore under any circumstances,” stated a spokesperson for the Operations Wing. “Our intelligence-led combing operations are designed to neutralize criminal hideouts before street crimes occur, ensuring peace and safety for law-abiding residents.”
