The state government, led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, has repeatedly highlighted its commitment to eliminating drug trafficking and restoring social stability. The administration maintains that consistent enforcement, rehabilitation initiatives, and public awareness campaigns are being pursued simultaneously to address both supply and demand aspects of the drug problem.
Police sources added that along with arrests, investigations are underway to trace forward and backward linkages of the accused, which could reveal larger interstate or cross-border networks. Officials believe that sustained pressure on traffickers, combined with intelligence-driven operations, will gradually weaken organized narcotics syndicates operating in the region.
Authorities reiterated that the अभियान will continue with the same intensity in the coming days, signaling that law enforcement agencies intend to maintain strict vigilance and zero tolerance toward drug-related crimes across the state.
