Himachal Pradesh MLA Accuses Punjab of Contributing to Growing Drug Abuse in Himachal

In a controversial move, Himachal Pradesh MLA Chander Shekhar Thakur has accused Punjab of contributing significantly to the growing drug abuse problem among youth in his state. Thakur, a Congress leader, stated that drugs coming from Punjab have been a major factor in the increasing addiction rates in Himachal Pradesh. His accusations have put a spotlight on the interconnected nature of drug trafficking in northern India, where several states face similar challenges in curbing illegal narcotics trade.

Thakur’s statements have ignited a broader conversation about the role of neighboring states in each other’s drug-related issues, with many calling for a unified regional approach to tackle the drug menace. While Punjab has taken several steps to fight drug trafficking, the allegations suggest that the problem is far from being solved, particularly in states like Himachal Pradesh, which continue to see alarming levels of drug abuse among the youth.
