Bihar CM Launches Month-Long Campaign to Combat Drug Abuse
Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary launched a month-long campaign against drug abuse from October 27 to November 26, aiming to raise public awareness and intensify action against narcotics trafficking. The campaign includes community programs, a WhatsApp helpline, and mobile units. Seizures of charas, heroin, and opium have increased recently, prompting calls for stricter enforcement. Choudhary praised former CM Nitish Kumar's 2016 liquor prohibition law and aligned the drive with national goals to make India drug-free by 2029 under Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Shah.
