30% Reduction In 'Chitta' Consumption In 3 years: CM Sukhu Tells Himachal Assembly

ABP News  

Shimla, Mar 19 Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu reiterated the resolve of the government to deal sternly against drug menace and informed the state assembly that consumption of 'chitta' has been reduced by 30 per cent in the past three years. Replying to a question in the Vidhan Sabha, Sukhu said in the past three years, 4,780 cases related to 'chitta' have been registered and 37.981 kg of the banned substance has been recovered. "There are several cases in which a person booked after the seizure of a small quantity like one gram of 'chitta' are getting bail from the court time and again and they are then working in cartels again by exploiting this legal remedy," Sukhu, who holds the home department, said. Sukhu said his government would bring a new Bill during the session to make penal provision more stringent and a special task force would be constituted to ensure community participation to curb the drug menace.
