Bihar launches month-long anti-drug drive, CM gives police free hand

Bihar has launched 'Nashamukt Bihar Abhiyan', a month-long anti-drug campaign running from October 27 to November 26, amid rising narcotics seizures. Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary said drug use spread after the 2016 liquor ban and gave police full freedom to dismantle supply networks. The drive includes a WhatsApp chatbot, a de-addiction helpline and awareness vehicles.
