Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has directed law enforcement agencies to intensify their fight against drug trafficking and substance abuse in the state. He has called for stricter enforcement measures, greater public awareness campaigns, and improved rehabilitation facilities to ensure a safer, drug-free Uttarakhand. The CM emphasized that youth are particularly vulnerable to drug addiction, making it imperative for authorities to intervene effectively.
The Uttarakhand Police, in response, has ramped up surveillance at border checkpoints, educational institutions, and high-risk areas. The administration is also collaborating with NGOs to spread awareness about the dangers of drug abuse and provide support for rehabilitation. This proactive approach is expected to yield significant results in reducing drug-related crimes.
