lhi has been a growing concern, impacting vulnerable populations, particularly the youth. The easy availability of narcotics has fueled crime, damaged communities, and hindered the potential of the city’s young people. The Delhi Police, under the directives of the Lieutenant Governor, has ramped up its efforts to dismantle drug trafficking networks, seize contraband, and rehabilitate those affected by addiction.

This aggressive campaign is not just about seizing and destroying drugs; it’s about safeguarding the future of Delhi’s youth and contributing to a “Nasha Mukt Bharat” (Drug-Free India), he said,  adding, “  The success of this initiative is seen as vital for the nation’s overall development, ensuring a brighter and healthier future for all citizens.”

It also reinforces the government’s commitment to creating a safe and drug-free environment for its citizens. The ongoing efforts are a testament to the collaborative approach between the Delhi Police and the central government in combating this critical issue.
