|June 10, 2025
Punjab finance minister Harpal Singh Cheema on Monday said the cabinet sub-committee, formed to monitor Yudh Nashian Virudh drive, has decided to establish robust arrangements for the treatment of drug addicts.
CHANDIGARH:
This step comes as the ongoing anti-drug campaign successfully disrupted drug supply lines, leading to a notable increase in individuals seeking treatment at government de-addiction centres and hospitals, Cheema said.
The decisions included immediate recruitment of 200 psychologists on a temporary basis for six months, with the health department tasked to secure permanent recruitment in the interim.
