"There is a problem of narco-terrorism from across the border and this needs to be tackled in a stronger way," Punjab BJP chief Kamal Sharma said at a Martyrdom Day function here on the Indo-Pak border.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was also present at the function.
Sharma said industry and trade in the state had been finished as Punjab had to face the "trade of terror" from Pakistan.
Drawing PM's attention towards the problem of drugs in the state, Sharma said the Centre and state government should work "in tandem" to resolve this issue.
