On October 20, 2026, Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah will meet families of those who lost their lives —in Mansa, Sangrur and Gurdaspur— for speaking against 'chitta' (synthetic drug) traders in Punjab.

In a post on X platform, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah said that Punjab government has left no stone unturned in pushing the state into an abyss of drug abuse, a situation that has caused many families to lose their children. He said that the grief these families are enduring is beyond words. Attempts to silence those who raise their voices against this dark drug trade will never succeed, and the people of the state will provide a befitting response. Shri Shah said that the Government of India will track down those involved in the 'chitta' trade and put them behind bars, ensuring that Punjab—and the entire country—is completely rid of this drug menace.

आप-दा सरकार ने पंजाब को नशे के गर्त में धकेलने में कोई कोर-कसर नहीं छोड़ी है, जिसके कारण अनेक परिवारों को अपने बच्चों को खोना पड़ा है। AAP सरकार के संरक्षण में फल-फूल रहे चिट्टा कारोबारियों के खिलाफ आवाज उठाने वाले जिन लोगों को हाल ही में अपना जीवन गँवाना पड़ा, मंगलवार (20 अक्टूबर) को उनके परिजनों से मानसा, संगरूर व गुरदासपुर में मिलूँगा। इन परिवारों ने जो खोया है, उस दुःख को शब्दों में बयान नहीं किया जा सकता। नशे के इस काले कारोबार के खिलाफ उठने वाली आवाजों को दबाने की कोशिश कभी सफल नहीं होगी और प्रदेशवासी इसका मुँहतोड़ जवाब देंगे। भारत सरकार चिट्टा कारोबारियों को चुन-चुनकर जेल की सलाखों के पीछे भेजेगी और पंजाब सहित पूरे देश को नशे के इस कारोबार से मुक्त बनाकर रहेगी।
