JALANDHAR/HOSHIARPUR:

Addressing a gathering to administer the oath to the sarpanches, panches and village defence committees to eradicate drugs from the state at the PAP complex here, Mann said all the necessary permission for action against top drug traffickers is being taken.

"These smugglers, who live in lavish homes while others suffer, do not deserve forgiveness. All necessary permissions are being obtained to take action against the top-level traffickers, and they will be held accountable. They will face bulldozer action soon," the CM said.

Referring to the success of the bulldozer action against drug traffickers, the CM said that for the first time, traffickers in villages are approaching panchayats to repent and promise not to sell drugs again.
