The drug menace in Punjab has remained a major political and social issue for more than a decade. Public emotions have surged after the killing of anti-drug crusader Parvinder Singh Jhota.
According to the report, political parties are now looking to capitalise on the issue ahead of the Punjab Assembly election, due in early 2027. The growing concern over drugs is expected to feature prominently in the campaign.
The situation continues to draw attention across the state as parties position themselves around the issue. The report suggests that the drug crisis will remain central to Punjab’s political debate in the coming months.
