According to the Punjab Police, focused raids, large-scale search operations, and continuous awareness drives remain at the heart of this mission—reflecting the Bhagwant Mann government’s firm commitment to dismantling the drug network.
Major Action Highlights on Day 283
- Raids conducted: 346 locations across Punjab
- Arrests made on the day: 95 drug peddlers
- Total arrests in 283 days: 39,864, marking one of the largest anti-drug crackdowns in the state’s history
Officials stated that the operations are being executed with zero tolerance for drug mafia networks, ensuring strict action from border regions to urban centers.
Bhagwant Mann Government’s Firm Stand
Under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the campaign has taken a mission-mode approach, combining strong policing with public participation and rehabilitation initiatives. The government has repeatedly emphasized that drug-free Punjab is not just a law-and-order goal but a social responsibility towards future generations.
Community Awareness Increasing
Alongside arrests, awareness campaigns in villages, schools, and urban settlements continue to spread information about prevention, treatment, and reporting mechanisms—helping citizens become active partners in the fight against drugs.
