Apart from enforcement action, Punjab Police has also been focusing on community outreach and awareness initiatives, especially among youth, to prevent drug abuse and promote rehabilitation. Awareness programs are being conducted in schools, colleges and villages to sensitise people about the dangers of substance abuse.
The Punjab government has reiterated that the fight against drugs will continue with the same intensity. Officials said that intelligence-based operations, inter-state coordination and strict legal action will remain key pillars of the campaign as the state moves closer to its goal of a drug-free Punjab.
