Apart from enforcement action, Punjab Police also focused on rehabilitation and de-addiction. During the campaign, 10 individuals were counselled and persuaded to voluntarily undergo treatment at de-addiction and rehabilitation centres. The initiative highlights the government’s dual approach of taking strict action against drug traffickers while supporting individuals struggling with substance abuse.
The anti-drug campaign is being carried out under the leadership of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, with the objective of making Punjab drug-free through sustained enforcement, public awareness, and rehabilitation measures.
Punjab Police has reiterated its commitment to continuing the crackdown on narcotics and urged citizens to cooperate by sharing information about drug-related activities. Officials said consistent action against drug smugglers, combined with rehabilitation efforts, remains essential to reducing drug abuse and ensuring safer communities across Punjab.
The ongoing #YudhNashianVirudh campaign continues to record daily enforcement actions as authorities work to curb the illegal drug trade throughout the state.
