Officials said that the campaign involves coordinated action by multiple police units, including the Anti-Narcotics Task Force, local district police teams and intelligence units. Regular raids, surveillance operations and community engagement programmes are being conducted to identify and disrupt drug supply chains.
Authorities have also been focusing on spreading awareness about the dangers of drug abuse through community outreach initiatives, encouraging families and local communities to support rehabilitation efforts for affected individuals.
The campaign forms a key part of the state government’s strategy under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to combat drug abuse and strengthen public safety across Punjab. Authorities have urged citizens to cooperate with the police and report information related to drug trafficking to help make the state drug-free.
