Chlef: Massive Destruction of Seized Drugs and Psychotropics

A national operation to destroy a vast quantity of illegal substances was conducted this Thursday in Chlef, overseen by a national committee and attended by judicial, civil, and military authorities. This operation, the sixth of its kind since 2023, resulted in the destruction of over 33 million psychotropic tablets, nearly 10 tons of treated cannabis, hard drugs, and psychotropic powder. The seized materials, recovered by the National People's Army, the Gendarmerie, national security services, and customs, are valued at over 52.9 billion Algerian dinars. Carried out under strict legal, safety, and environmental standards, the event underscores the effectiveness of the national strategy in combating drug trafficking and protecting the country.
