The Jammu District Magistrate has ordered that courier companies, parcel services, and logistics operators in Jammu cannot transport narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, or other contraband items without a valid permit.

They must verify the identity of senders and receivers, keep detailed records of all consignments, and ensure that all employees are verified by the local police.

The order also requires staff to be trained to identify suspicious consignments and report them to the police.

Violations of this order can result in legal consequences, including fines and criminal sanctions.
