Chandigarh: In a bold statement. Finance Minister of Punjab, Harpal Singh Cheema emphasized that Punjab is united in its fight against the drug menace.” The battle against drugs is not just a political issue, it’s a fight for the future of the Punjab. Every section of society is actively involved in the this cause,” Cheema remarked.
Cheema further pointed out that the eradication of drugs in the state hinges on creating sustainable employment opportunities for the youth. “Providing jobs is the cornerstone of tackling the drug problem. When young people have meaningful work, they are less likely to fall prey to substances abuse,” Cheema stressed.
In his speech, Cheema also highlighted the importance of collaboration with farmers. ” We have had numerous discussions with our farmer brothers about clearing the pathways for growth and development. This is essential for opening new avenues that will not only combat the drug problem but also foster economic growth across Punjab.”
Cheema emphasized that the key to Punjab’s progress lies in the opening of these pathways. ” A Punjab that is free from drugs is only possible if we work together to build infrastructure, increase employment, and create opportunities for all. Only then will we see the true potential of this state being realized.”
The battle against drug is far from ever, but with the right focus on employment and development, Punjab is steadily moving towards a brighter and drug free future.
