Punjab to Set Up 35 Special NDPAs Courts for Drug Trafficking Cases

The Punjab government has announced the creation of 35 special NDPAs courts dedicated to drug trafficking cases. The move aims to clear a growing backlog of pending cases over the next five to seven years. The decision follows an assessment by the registrar general of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, who highlighted the need for additional courts to handle the volume of cases. The new courts are expected to streamline proceedings and reduce delays in delivering justice to victims and the state.
