Shimla, Nov. 16 -- The state government has done mapping of panchayats to identify chitta (heroin) consumers and suppliers. Similar mapping will be done in schools and colleges as well. Districts - Shimla, Kullu, Mandi, Kangra, Bilaspur, and Sirmaur - have emerged as hotspots of youth vulnerability. The CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said, "We have adopted a zero-tolerance policy against chitta. No one involved in this trade will be spared, no matter how influential they may be". As part of which the state government has also initiated legal proceedings against at least 80 govt employees, including policemen, for involvement in drug-related offences. The government has even constituted an anti-drug Special Task Force (STF) and designated 13 police stations for focused anti-drug operations. Since the enforcement of the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PIT NDPS) Act, police have seized illegal property worth over Rs.42 crore from traffickers, identified nearly 70 drug smugglers, and detained at least 44 peddlers. "Soon after coming to power, the government implemented the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PIT-NDPS) Act, to send repeated offenders involved in drug trafficking to jail. New laws have also been passed for treatment, rehabilitation and control of organized drug crimes. These include provisions for the death penalty, life imprisonment, fines up to Rs.10 lakh, and seizure of property of drug traffickers," said the CM. The government will soon form a team of 1,000 anti-chitta volunteers who will act as a link between the police and the public, he said. Police have been instructed to identify drug users and drug mafias at the panchayat level, and this work has been completed. A Drug Prevention and Rehabilitation Board has been formed, and a new chapter on drug awareness will be added to the school curriculum....
