CHANDIGARH — Union Home Minister Amit Shah unveiled a visionary roadmap during the diamond jubilee celebrations of the Chandigarh Police, declaring that the union territory is on a definitive trajectory to become the first major city in India completely liberated from narcotics.
The high-profile announcement coincided with the 60th Raising Day commemoration of the local law enforcement agency, a momentous occasion highlighted by the conferment of the esteemed President's Colour to the force in recognition of its exemplary service, dedication, and professional excellence.
According to reports published by The Hindu, the government's aggressive stance on substance abuse forms a cornerstone of national security and public health initiatives.

Looking ahead, this ambitious initiative is expected to serve as a benchmark for municipal governance and law enforcement strategies nationwide, potentially paving the way for similar statewide and city-level anti-drug campaigns across the country.
