The cabinet sub-committee set up by the Punjab government to “wage a war against drugs” decided on Monday (June 9, 2025) to establish a robust system for the treatment of drug addicts amid an increase in the number of drug addicts seeking treatment at government de-addiction centers and hospitals, Finance Minister Harpal Cheema has said.
He said this crucial step comes as the ongoing campaign against the drug menace has successfully disrupted drug supply lines, leading to a notable increase in individuals seeking treatment.
