AAP MLA Sisodia has kicked off a statewide anti‑drug campaign in Punjab, branding it ‘Khelta‑Daudta Punjab’ to counter the drug menace.
AAP leader Sisodia announced the launch of a new anti‑drug drive across Punjab, titled “Khelta‑Daudta Punjab”. The campaign seeks to address the drug problem that has long troubled the state, echoing the concerns raised by the film “Udta Punjab”.
The initiative will see Sisodia travelling to multiple districts, meeting students, community groups and local officials to promote drug‑free lifestyles. He said the programme will include rallies, awareness sessions and coordination with police to deter narcotics use among youth.
Punjab’s AAP administration has pledged full support, stating that the drive will complement ongoing enforcement actions. Analysts note that the timing reflects heightened public anxiety over drug‑related incidents in the region.
