“We have broken the network of narcotics trafficking in Haryana and will destroy it completely in the future,” Dalal said. He added that illegal narcotic substances entering Haryana from other states must be stopped effectively.

Welcoming the participants, DSP Harvinder Singh said de-addiction centers in the state would be strengthened to help achieve the goal of a healthy Haryana.
