Interacting with the media persons after visiting the drug de-addiction centre at Central jail here today, the Chief Minister said that the drugs like poppy husk were being openly sold in the state of Rajasthan due to which it was difficult for the Punjab government to check its inflow in the state. He said that this was creating a serious problem in the state due to which their government would take every step to tackle this grave problem. Mr. Badal said that he would soon take up this matter with the Chief Minister of Rajasthan Mrs. Vasundhra Raje Scindia to find some viable solution for checking its supply into the state.

Declaring a war against drugs in the state, Mr. Badal said that the state government has taken unprecedented steps to check this menace in the state and soon its results would be visible to the people.
