Maharashtra Cabinet Approves Policy to Eradicate Drugs by 2029
Maharashtra's cabinet has approved a comprehensive policy aiming to eradicate narcotic drugs from the state by 2029. The plan involves a 'whole-of-government approach' with coordinated efforts across departments, focusing on public awareness, strict enforcement against drug production and trafficking, and integrating drug education into school curricula from Class V. The policy aligns with the central government's 'Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan' and assigns responsibilities from village to ministerial levels to achieve a drug-free Maharashtra.
