Senior Congress leader Raghuvir Singh Kadian on Monday raised alarms about the escalating drugs menace in Haryana, urging the government to take decisive action. Participating in a discussion at the Haryana Assembly, he criticized the state for not tackling the issue effectively, which now threatens the youth.

Kadian highlighted problems beyond the drugs menace, including shortages of staff in schools and hospitals. His remarks met resistance from BJP members, who pointed to a court case linked to the party's local chief, arguing Kadian was straying from the governor's address topics.

Meanwhile, Haryana's Chief Minister stressed ongoing regional collaboration to fight drug proliferation, mentioning enhanced operations with neighboring states. He asserted that the state is committed to both combating drugs and solving unemployment.
