<h1>Punjab CM Sets 3-Month Deadline to Combat Drug Menace with Special Courts, Strict Policing, and De-Addiction Programs</h1> The Punjab Chief Minister has set a three-month deadline to eradicate drug issues in the state, emphasizing the establishment of special courts for swift trials and convictions. A sub-committee of cabinet ministers will oversee police and health department actions against drugs and implement de-addiction programs. Preventive measures in schools and colleges, cutting supply lines, and penalizing drug-sellers are prioritized. The government plans to seize properties of convicted individuals and deny subsidies to drug-peddlers. Monthly evaluations of district police performance will occur, with strict actions against non-performing officers. The initiative, 'Yudh Nashia Virudh,' aims to intensify efforts against drug smuggling.
