The BJP leaders also reiterated their commitment to working collectively towards building a drug-free Punjab, stressing the need for social awareness and public participation in eliminating the menace of narcotics from the state.
Nabin's visit forms part of the BJP's ongoing outreach programme in Punjab, aimed at strengthening social engagement and promoting campaigns focused on cultural values, youth welfare and a drug-free society.
