The campaign not only focuses on enforcement but also emphasizes prevention and rehabilitation. CM Bhagwant Mann has repeatedly highlighted the importance of a collective effort involving government agencies, communities, and families to make Punjab a drug-free state.
The Punjab government has also been working to strengthen the infrastructure of de-addiction and rehabilitation centres to provide proper treatment and counseling to addicts. Awareness drives in schools, colleges, and rural areas are helping to spread the message about the dangers of drug abuse and the benefits of recovery.
Senior police officials have stated that the success of this campaign is due to a combination of strict law enforcement, technological monitoring, and active public participation. Punjab Police has been using advanced surveillance tools and community reporting mechanisms to identify drug networks operating at the local level.
The state government, under CM Mann, has reiterated its commitment to safeguard Punjab’s youth, restore families affected by addiction, and build a society where every individual can live with dignity, health, and hope.
