Okara police carried out two separate operations targeting unlawful activities in the district. In one operation, they arrested 11 people allegedly involved in a late-night dance gathering featuring objectionable songs.

According to police, the arrested group includes three girls and eight boys. The gathering was reportedly held in violation of local regulations and public order rules.

Officials said cash was also recovered from the possession of the detained individuals. The suspects were taken into custody on the spot and shifted to a police station for further investigation.

Police stated that the action was taken after receiving information about loud music and inappropriate dancing at a private location. Authorities said such activities disturb public peace and are not allowed under the law.

In a separate operation, police arrested two individuals identified as Shahbaz and Naser on drug-related charges.

Officials said a search of the suspects led to the recovery of 2,600 grams of hashish. The accused were allegedly involved in drug trafficking activities in the area.

Police added that initial investigations suggest the suspects may be part of a wider network involved in drug distribution. Further inquiries are underway to trace possible connections.

Authorities said strict action is being taken against both drug dealers and those involved in activities considered harmful to public morality and safety.

Police officials confirmed that both cases are under investigation and legal proceedings will follow under relevant laws.

They further stated that operations against crime, including drugs and other illegal gatherings, will continue across Okara to maintain law and order and ensure public safety.
