BJP MLA Tarun Chugh has criticized Punjab's drug mafia as being digitally enabled, pointing to the state's outdated infrastructure as a key factor.
Tarun Chugh, a BJP legislator, accused Punjab’s drug syndicates of adopting digital tools to streamline operations.
He said the criminal networks now use online platforms for transactions, recruitment and coordination, making them harder to track.
Chugh argued that the state’s law‑enforcement and technology infrastructure are lagging, which hampers efforts to curb drug trafficking.
He called for urgent reforms, investment in digital policing, data analytics and stronger inter‑agency cooperation to tackle the problem.
