Overview
- In a heated Assembly session, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu accused the BJP of politicising the state’s drug problem and defended his government’s response.
- BJP legislators staged a walkout during Sukhu’s reply to the Motion of Thanks, after which the motion passed by voice vote in their absence.
- Sukhu cited recent arrests of four police personnel linked to LSD and synthetic‑drug trafficking and said action was initiated by the police force itself.
- He reported dismissals of 11 police personnel and nine other government employees, along with property seizures and demolitions targeting alleged traffickers.
- The government has mapped the most affected panchayats and launched public‑awareness efforts such as Walkathons Against Drugs, as Sukhu also blamed the previous BJP regime for the spread of “chitta.”
