Amit Shah Announces Nationwide Campaign to Achieve Drug-Free India by 2029
Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced a nationwide campaign to make India drug-free by December 31, 2029, urging police forces to unite in this effort. He highlighted the drug menace's threat to future generations, its economic burden, and its link to funding anti-national activities. Shah also commemorated police personnel who died in service and declared India free from decades of Naxalism, crediting security forces for their role. The campaign aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's goal and will span the remainder of 2026 through 2029.
