Punjab Drug Crisis News: Punjab is grappling with a grave drug crisis, with alarming reports and videos surfacing of individuals overdosing and collapsing from drug abuse. The situation has drawn stark comparisons to the drug epidemic in Philadelphia, with descriptions likening Punjab to a 'living hell' or the 'Udta Punjab,' a reference to the film that underscored the state's drug issues.

The crisis remains acute, with the youth of Punjab still heavily entangled in drug and alcohol abuse. Despite the efforts of various police units and organizations, including the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), which has launched awareness campaigns and public meetings, the government's efforts appear insufficient.

Political debates and accusations have intensified, with critics arguing that the government has failed to achieve its goals regarding drug abuse in the state. 

Although the Punjab government has taken multiple initiatives, the condition does not seem to improve. Over the past two years, little to no progress has been made, leaving Punjab's condition largely unchanged. The persistent and escalating drug problem has sparked widespread concern, reflecting a deepening crisis that the government seems unable to effectively address.
