The Punjab government has declined to allow the BJP's Nasha Mukt Yatra to be conducted in the state, citing concerns over the event's alignment with local policies.
The Punjab government has rejected the BJP's proposed Nasha Mukt Yatra, a drug‑free campaign aimed at raising awareness about substance abuse. The decision was announced by state officials, who cited concerns that the event did not align with Punjab's existing anti‑drug policies and could create conflicts with local initiatives. While the BJP had planned to launch the tour across several states, Punjab's rejection may affect the schedule and the party's outreach strategy in the region. The state government reiterated its commitment to combating drug abuse through its own programs and emphasized that any external initiatives must adhere to its guidelines.
