Home Affairs Minister Amit Shah calls for a united nationwide campaign to make India drug-free by December 2029, with speeches reported across multiple outlets. Reporting centers on Shah’s message that states and local authorities should align their efforts to meet the deadline.
Several outlets specifically tie the push to Punjab, with Shah described speaking in Ludhiana and setting out a target date of December 31, 2029 for making Punjab drug-free. One outlet frames the effort as a broader “drug-free India” campaign, while others emphasize the Punjab component and the urgency of the 2029 timeline.
Across coverage, the common thread is Shah’s stated deadline for drug-free outcomes and the call for coordinated action. The main variation is how broadly outlets describe the scope—nationwide versus Punjab-focused—and the exact wording of the end date.
