Political figure Shah has called on the BJP to be given a chance to make Punjab drug‑free, setting a firm deadline of December 29.
Shah, a prominent political figure, has publicly urged the Bharatiya Janata Party to be given an opportunity to address Punjab’s long‑standing drug problem. In a statement released today, he set a clear deadline of December 29 for the state to become drug‑free, underscoring the urgency of the issue.
Punjab has been grappling with high rates of drug addiction and related social challenges for years. The call from Shah comes as state and central authorities continue to implement measures to curb drug trafficking and consumption.
By setting a concrete end‑of‑year target, Shah aims to pressure political parties, especially the BJP, to deliver tangible results. The deadline is expected to galvanise efforts across the state’s law‑enforcement and rehabilitation sectors.
The statement has attracted attention from policymakers and civil society groups, all of whom are keen to see a decisive move against the drug menace before the end of the calendar year.
