Bihar Launches Month-Long Anti-Drug Campaign Amid Rising Narcotics Seizures
The Bihar government has launched a month-long anti-drug campaign, 'Nashamukt Bihar Abhiyan', responding to a rise in narcotics seizures and drug-related cases. Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary emphasized tougher enforcement and community involvement, granting police full authority to dismantle drug networks. The campaign includes technology-driven awareness efforts across urban and rural areas. Recent police operations have seized significant quantities of various narcotics, highlighting challenges due to Bihar's proximity to Nepal and trafficking routes. Authorities continue to investigate and combat drug supply chains in the state.
