Alongside enforcement measures, Punjab Police also focused on encouraging people affected by substance use to seek professional help. During the campaign, 14 individuals were counselled and motivated to undergo de-addiction and rehabilitation treatment.
The initiative reflects the two-pronged approach highlighted by the police: action against drug supply networks and efforts to connect individuals struggling with addiction to treatment and rehabilitation services. Counselling and rehabilitation are important components of addressing substance abuse, alongside law-enforcement measures.
With the campaign entering its 616th day, Punjab Police reiterated its continued focus on tackling drug-related activities across the state. The latest update highlighted both the arrests and seizures made during the drive and the counselling support extended to individuals encouraged to pursue recovery.
