Nitin Nabin stressed that Punjab's anti‑drug drive must reach every village and city to curb substance abuse, urging authorities to intensify outreach.
Punjab political figure Nitin Nabin called for an expansive anti‑drug campaign that penetrates every corner of the state, emphasizing the urgency of tackling rising substance abuse. He highlighted that current efforts have left many rural and semi‑urban areas underserved, allowing drug networks to operate with relative impunity.
Nabin urged the state government, law‑enforcement agencies, and civil society groups to coordinate a unified strategy that includes awareness drives, school‑level education, and rapid response teams. He also appealed for increased funding to support rehabilitation centers and community outreach programs.
The call comes amid reports of escalating drug-related incidents across Punjab, prompting public concern and demands for stronger preventive measures. Nitin Nabin's statement reflects a broader political consensus that a comprehensive, ground‑level approach is essential to curb the menace.
Stakeholders are expected to convene in the coming weeks to outline actionable steps, with the aim of launching the intensified campaign before the end of the quarter.
