Karnataka Considers Stricter Anti‑Drug Laws Under Zero‑Tolerance Policy

Karnataka’s government is reviewing its anti‑drug framework to introduce tougher penalties and enforcement under a zero‑tolerance stance.

The proposal aims to impose harsher penalties for possession, trafficking and consumption of illegal drugs, and to strengthen enforcement agencies.

The policy is part of a broader national effort to reduce drug addiction, and the government plans to consult with law enforcement and health experts before finalising the legislation.
