Our Assessment

The promise was to institute a task force to implement zero tolerance of drugs. TOI reported in 2026 that the Uttarakhand Anti-Narcotics Task Force was formed in 2022 and that the cabinet approved 22 permanent posts for it; TOI also reported in 2025 that the CM directed the Anti-Narcotic Task Force to take strict action and strengthen enforcement under the Drug Free Uttarakhand resolve. The verdict is fulfilled for the task-force creation and zero-tolerance enforcement mechanism, though not for the separate courts/property-seizure promises below. Budget status: permanent posts were approved for the ANTF; no rupee figure was reported.
