Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday announced that his government has decided to open drug de-addiction centres across the state. While interacting with people during a ‘Jan Samvad’ programme in Chormar Khera village in Sirsa, CM Khattar said, in an official statement, the government has been constantly working in the direction to eradicate the drug menace from the state. Later, during the event, Khattar also said that Sirsa's Dabwali sub-division will now be a new police district and said this will help combat drug smuggling, as reported by news agency PTI.
Khattar, as quoted by PTI, said, "Taking a big step in this direction, the government has now decided to open drug de-addiction centres across the state.” Eminent personalities will also be entrusted with the task of running such de-addiction centres with the objective to guide the youth and bring them on the right path, the Chief Minister added.
