Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, Punjab has embarked on a resolute mission to eradicate drug abuse and trafficking from the state. With a firm commitment to protecting its people, especially the youth, the Maan government has launched an all-out war against drug cartels, ensuring swift action and accountability.

A High-Powered Committee to Lead the Way

To tighten the noose around drug networks, the Maan government has formed a five-member cabinet committee dedicated to overseeing and strengthening anti-drug operations. This committee is not just about policies; it is about action. Members will work on the ground, visiting villages, engaging with communities, and ensuring that every anti-drug initiative is effectively implemented. Their reports will directly reach Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, ensuring a hands-on approach to tackling this crisis.

Fast-Track Courts for Speedy Justice

Recognizing the need for swift legal action, the Maan government is setting up special fast-track courts to handle drug-related cases. This initiative aims to ensure that offenders are brought to justice without delay, reinforcing the message that Punjab will not tolerate drug abuse and trafficking in any form.

Transforming Drug Dens into Knowledge Centers

In a groundbreaking move, the government is turning former drug hubs into centers of learning and empowerment. Recently, the police demolished an illegal property of a drug trafficker in Narangwal village, Ludhiana. Now, instead of being a place of despair, the land will house a library to educate young minds about the dangers of drug abuse and the power of knowledge. The initiative is a symbolic and practical step towards a drug-free Punjab, offering hope and opportunities where darkness once prevailed.

Three Months to Wipe Out Drug Networks

Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has issued a bold directive to police commissioners and anti-narcotics teams: dismantle all drug operations in Punjab within three months. This aggressive stance reflects the Maan government’s unwavering commitment to ending the drug menace once and for all. Officers who fail to meet this target will be held accountable, ensuring no leniency in this crucial battle.

A Holistic Approach to Rehabilitation

Fighting drugs isn’t just about eliminating supply, it’s also about healing those affected. Punjab has established over 529 OAT (Opioid Agonist Treatment) clinics and more than 306 de-addiction centers, providing medical support, counseling, and vocational training. These centers are helping individuals reclaim their lives, offering them skills to build a stable future and reintegrate into society with dignity.

A Future Free from Addiction

Punjab’s fight against drugs is not just a government initiative; it’s a movement powered by collective will. The transformation is already underway, and with every demolished drug den, every rehabilitated life, and every empowered youth, Punjab is inching closer to its vision of a drug-free state.
