While Cracking Down on Drugs, Punjab Govt Empowers Citizens with Dedicated WhatsApp Helpline
Chandigarh: As Punjab intensifies its crackdown on drug trafficking under the “War on Drugs” campaign, the state government—led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann—is ensuring that citizen participation becomes the cornerstone of the anti-drug movement. In a landmark step to bolster grassroots involvement, the Punjab Government has launched a dedicated WhatsApp Helpline number: 9779100200, allowing people to anonymously report drug-related activity in their areas.
"The war against drugs cannot be won by the government alone—it needs the strength and support of every Punjabi," CM Mann said earlier.
The Chief Minister emphasized that while police operations, raids, and intelligence gathering are underway at an unprecedented scale, true victory lies in making this fight a people’s movement. This is where the new helpline becomes crucial—empowering every citizen to play an active role in cleaning up their neighborhoods.
What Makes This Helpline a Game-Changer?
WhatsApp-based, making it quick and easy to use.
Absolute anonymity: The government has assured that the identity of anyone sharing information will be strictly protected.
Public-led vigilance: Citizens now have a safe and direct channel to expose drug peddlers or suspicious activity.
Zero tolerance policy: This initiative is part of CM Mann’s broader crackdown on drug networks that were allegedly sheltered by previous regimes.
Taking the Fight to the Streets—with the People
CM Mann underlined that previous governments failed to curb the drug menace due to complicity and lack of will, but under his leadership, Punjab has adopted a zero-tolerance approach. He assured the public that no one involved in drug smuggling—no matter how influential—will be spared, and appealed to the youth and concerned citizens to rise as vigilant protectors of their communities.
"If you see something, say something. Send us the tip on WhatsApp. We will act—swiftly and silently," Mann added.
Why It Matters
Punjab has long struggled with the scourge of drug abuse, affecting not just individuals but tearing at the social fabric of families and communities. By providing an accessible and confidential platform, the Punjab Government is not only cracking down with force but also building a culture of community resistance against narcotics.
The WhatsApp number 9779100200 is now live and operational.
This move—far more than just a technical solution—is a call to action for every Punjabi to become a soldier in this battle. And for the first time in years, many feel that this battle might just be winnable—with the government’s resolve and the people’s will, side by side.
