Madhya Pradesh Police Launches Addiction-Free Campaign

The Madhya Pradesh Police has announced the launch of an addiction-free campaign in the state, starting from July 15. The campaign will be carried out through public participation and will not be limited to government initiatives alone.

Director General of Police (DGP) Kailash Makwana informed police officials about the campaign during a review meeting at Police Headquarters (PHQ) on Wednesday. The DGP emphasized the need for active participation from various government departments, educational institutions, social and voluntary organisations, public representatives, religious and community bodies, youth groups, and all sections of society.

A three-year roadmap has been presented to achieve the target of eradicating narcotics in the state. The DGP directed officials to focus on financial investigations in cases involving commercial quantities, take action against clandestine laboratories, and enhance coordination with border states.

The police will also ensure strict enforcement of 'drug-free zones' around educational institutions and target organised networks and key offenders through effective investigations. Additionally, district-level NCORD committee meetings will be made more result-oriented.

The campaign aims to make Madhya Pradesh an addiction-free state through collective efforts from the public and the government.
