Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh today urged the Centre to evolve a national policy to curb drug menace with a coordinated strategy in place to check the smuggling of narcotics from across the border.
In a letter to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, the chief minister rued that despite his state regularly sharing intelligence on drug smuggling with the Border Security Force (BSF), the menace continued unabated in Punjab.
The chief minister asked the Centre to take a series of measures to support the state's efforts to fight the menace, which, he observed, was "seriously impairing the future of our next generation."
