Punjab Intensifies War on Drugs Under CM Bhagwant Mann, Assets Worth ₹15.49 Crore Recovered

Chandigarh | In a decisive push against narcotics, the Punjab government under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has strengthened its zero-tolerance policy as part of an ongoing “War on Drugs” campaign across the state.

According to official sources, law enforcement agencies, led by the Punjab Police, have significantly intensified operations targeting drug trafficking networks. These coordinated crackdowns have resulted in the recovery of drug-related assets valued at over ₹15.49 crore, marking a major step toward dismantling the financial backbone of illegal narcotics operations.

Authorities stated that the campaign is not limited to seizures alone but is focused on breaking the entire supply chain—from local peddlers to larger interstate syndicates. Enhanced surveillance, intelligence-led raids, and stricter enforcement mechanisms have been deployed to curb the menace at its roots.

The state government has reiterated its commitment to safeguarding Punjab’s youth from the harmful effects of substance abuse. Officials emphasized that alongside enforcement, efforts are also being made to promote awareness and rehabilitation, ensuring a holistic approach to tackling the drug crisis.

With continued momentum, the initiative aims to restore safety, strengthen communities, and build a drug-free future for the state.
