Rakesh Jamwal Calls for Stronger Action Against Drug Trafficking, Says Awareness Campaigns Must Be Backed by Results.<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shimla:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BJP Himachal Pradesh chief spokesperson and MLA Rakesh Jamwal has questioned the state government’s approach towards the anti-chitta campaign, stating that awareness rallies and public events alone cannot eliminate drug trafficking. He urged Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu to focus on dismantling drug networks and taking strict action against major traffickers.<\/p>\n

Jamwal said the growing menace of chitta was putting the future of the state’s youth at risk, while families were increasingly worried about their children. He questioned how many properties belonging to major drug traffickers had been attached or seized, how many financial networks had been dismantled and how many suppliers had been brought to justice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Referring to the anti-chitta walkathon organised in Mandi, he alleged that students were directed to participate in the programme. He cited a November 9 notice issued by the principal of Vallabh Government College, Mandi, which reportedly made attendance compulsory and mentioned a fine of Rs. 25 for absence.<\/p>\n

He further claimed that despite assurances of refreshments, lunch, caps and T-shirts, complaints had emerged regarding inadequate food and other facilities for participating students.<\/p>\n

Jamwal questioned the administration’s arrangements, asking why adequate facilities could not be provided when thousands of students had been mobilised for the event.<\/p>\n

He said the success of the anti-drug campaign should be measured by concrete action against traffickers rather than the number of participants at rallies. He urged the government to break supply chains, target illegal assets, dismantle financial networks and strengthen rehabilitation measures.<\/p>\n

He called upon the Chief Minister to present an account of action taken against the drug mafia instead of relying solely on speeches and awareness programmes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
