He conveyed that the Bhagwant Mann Government stands rock-solid with those who are courageously confronting the drug menace and exposing those involved in peddling. Baltej Pannu said, “The Punjab Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, is waging a relentless and multi-dimensional war against drug peddlers and smugglers.
We will completely eliminate this curse from Punjab.” He reiterated that the decisive campaign Yudh Nashean Virudh has entered its final and most intensive phase, with the Punjab Government determined to eradicate drugs from Punjab completely. Baltej Pannu also assured the injured crusader’s family that the Punjab Government is extending full support and assistance.

We will not rest until the drug menace is eradicated entirely from Punjab.” He added that the Punjab Government has already intensified its crackdown through widespread arrests, attachment of properties of drug traffickers, convictions under the NDPS Act, and community participation through around 1.5 lakh volunteers of Nasha Mukti Morcha who are actively supporting the campaign to eliminate drugs from Punjab.
