The campaign, launched with the clear vision of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, goes beyond enforcement alone. Along with focused raids and intelligence-led search operations, Punjab Police is actively running awareness and de-addiction initiatives, especially targeting the youth. The objective is not only to dismantle supply chains but also to prevent first-time drug use and encourage a healthy, drug-free lifestyle among young citizens.
Senior officials have reiterated that the mission remains firmly focused on identifying backward and forward linkages of drug networks, cutting off financial routes, and taking strict legal action against repeat offenders and kingpins. Community participation has also been encouraged, with citizens urged to share information and support the police in this collective fight.
CM Bhagwant Mann has consistently stated that drugs are the biggest threat to Punjab’s future and assured that the government and police will continue this अभियान until the menace is uprooted completely. With ‘Yudh Nashian Virudh’ entering its 303rd day, Punjab Police’s message is clear—this fight will continue relentlessly, until Punjab becomes truly Nasha Mukt.
