Punjab govt committed to end drug menace: Badal

“Police have been directed to tackle cases of drug on merit and no innocent should be arrested,” he said.  

“We are taking both administrative and corrective actions against the problem of drugs,” he said.  

Badal said that he would take up the matter with the Centre to seal borders of Punjab to check the “inflow of drugs from across the border”.

Exuding confidence that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will render all help for the development and other rights of Punjab, he said “with Modi at the helm of affairs discrimination against Punjab that was during the Congress regime will end.”

On the issue of sharing of river waters, Badal reiterated that the SAD is a votary of Riparian principle and his party stands by it.
