Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann intensifies drug-free state campaign with community focus

In a significant shift, the Punjab government has intensified its fight against drugs by broadening its approach beyond police interventions. The strategy now includes prevention initiatives within schools and active youth involvement in the campaign.

The comprehensive approach emphasizes community vigilance and improved access to treatment facilities. The government has reported numerous arrests and major drug seizures as part of the crackdown, with an expansion of treatment facilities leading to a notable rise in admissions.
