Haryana’s Drug War: A State Under Siege
Haryana is grappling with a severe drug menace, with a steady influx of narcotics from neighbouring states. Sirsa and Fatehabad districts have emerged as major heroin trafficking hubs.
The state’s drug problem is multifaceted. Ganja primarily originates from Odisha, while pharmaceutical drugs are sourced from Himachal Pradesh and Delhi.
The Haryana Police are actively combating this crisis. They are aggressively targeting drug supply chains and seizing assets belonging to traffickers.
Thousands of villages have been declared drug-free under a state-wide initiative. The conviction rate in drug-related cases remains impressively high.
However, the scale of the problem necessitates a sustained and multi-pronged approach, involving greater inter-state cooperation and strengthened community engagement. The success of the ongoing efforts will determine the future of Haryana’s youth and its overall social fabric.
