ਪੰਜਾਬ ਨੂੰ ਨਸ਼ਾ-ਮੁਕਤ ਕਰਨਾ ਅਤੇ ਨਸ਼ਾ ਤਸਕਰੀ ਦਾ ਜਾਲ ਤੋੜਨਾ

Mansa's City-2 SHO Beant Kaur was suspended amid demands for accountability, according to an Indian Express report published on 16 October. The case remained under investigation. The administrative action does not establish the allegations against officials or fulfilment of the anti-drug commitment.

Akashvani reported that the Chief Minister announced the arrest of the main accused in Jhota's killing. This is a reported investigative step; it is not a conviction or evidence that the wider drug supply chain has been dismantled.

Anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh 'Jhota' was shot dead in Mansa during a confrontation at a pharmacy over alleged illegal drug sales. The incident raises concerns about protection for campaigners. Drug-sale allegations and the motive remain matters for investigation.

Bar & Bench reports High Court scrutiny of prison drug dependence and treatment. The reported statewide total of 15,768 inmates in treatment is not proof that all developed dependence after admission.

Dainik Jagran reports near-complete household survey field coverage as of 30 August, with data-quality checks. Field coverage is not publication of validated prevalence findings.

Reporting on an Assembly committee documents expanded treatment registrations and bed capacity, alongside infrastructure and regulatory gaps. Service access and medicine procurement are not equated with cures or reduced statewide prevalence.

Akashvani reports the Health Minister's claim of 73,000 arrests over 500 campaign days. This is attributed enforcement activity, not a verified total of distinct convicted traffickers or a drug-free outcome.

Indian Express reports NCRB's 2024 Punjab figure of 106 recorded overdose deaths. This historical outcome predates the March 2025 campaign and cannot establish its effect.

Home Ministry reply 1987 reports recorded overdose deaths of 78 in 2021, 144 in 2022 and 89 in 2023. It also records ₹2.96 crore released to supported Punjab de-addiction centres and 11,603 persons reported rehabilitated in 2024–25; this is not a sustained-recovery audit.

Home Ministry reply 2597 reports 26,256 campaign cases, 38,687 accused and 1,714 kg heroin seized by its reporting point. It separately provides district conviction data for a different period. The accused total is not treated as convicted traffickers.

Yudh Nashian Virudh began, according to the Home Ministry's 16 December 2025 parliamentary reply. This date marks campaign launch, not fulfilment of the drug-free outcome.

AAP publicly announced its Punjab Model campaign guarantees, including ending the drug menace and making Punjab drug-free. This is a campaign-source event, not verification of a written manifesto page.
