During the drive police officers will fan out in villages in Fazilka district from 15th June 15 to 21st and interact with residents.

Editor’s Note

Punjab continues to be in the grip of drugs and addiction despite the claims made by the political parties to the people during the elections. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has vowed to wipe out the problem. His government has decriminalised drug abuse, with addicts and those caught with narcotics being sent to drug centres instead of prison.
