Chandigarh, January 3.
Translating the vision of Hon’ble Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini for a “Drug-Free Haryana” into concrete action, Haryana Police and the Haryana State Narcotics Control Bureau carried out the most comprehensive, stringent, and multi-dimensional anti-drug campaign ever witnessed in the state during 2025. The campaign went far beyond routine seizures and arrests, targeting the illegal assets, financial lifelines, organized syndicates, and supply chains of drug traffickers. In line with government policy, enforcement, financial investigation, judicial action, technical surveillance, and public participation were strengthened simultaneously to strike at both demand and supply.
