Zero tolerance against drugs: Govt launches multi-pronged crackdown: Pathania

Dharamshala, Jan 14 (UNI) Himachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Whip Kewal Singh Pathania said the state government has adopted a clear zero-tolerance policy against drug trafficking and warned that no one involved in the illegal trade would be spared, irrespective of position or status.
Addressing mediapersons here, Pathania said a comprehensive statewide campaign is underway to curb the drug menace. He said 11 police personnel have already been dismissed from service for their involvement in chitta (synthetic drug) trafficking, underscoring that the law applies equally to all.
To strengthen public participation, the government has introduced a reward scheme for informers, under which incentives range from Rs 10,000 for information on up to 2 grams of chitta to Rs 10 lakh for seizures exceeding one kilogram.
