Brigadier General Ahmad Taheri said police carried out more than 5,000 successful operations eliminating over 57 drug trafficking gangs over the past nine months.

He said over 104 tons of narcotics were seized from the traffickers in the same period, adding that many of the operations against the gangs involved clashes with them.
