Punjab Police Conduct Over 39,000 Community Meetings to Combat Drug Abuse
Since March 2025, Punjab Police has conducted over 39,000 community meetings under the 'Yudh Nashian Virudh' campaign to combat drug abuse. These include sessions in schools, colleges, and with youth-focused sampark meetings, as well as engagements with village and ward defence committees. Punjab's DGP Gaurav Yadav emphasized that enforcement alone is insufficient, urging communities to partner in prevention and awareness efforts. Volunteers support spreading information and facilitating access to de-addiction services, strengthening police-public trust and participation.
