Anti-chitta campaign transforms into statewide mass movement in HP

Shimla, Dec 7 (UNI) The Government of Himachal Pradesh has unleashed a multidimensional, uncompromising and resolutely outcome-driven offensive against the narcotic scourge, 'Chitta' and those who peddle it. This initiative transcends the bounds of a routine administrative exercise. It is nothing less than a decisive crusade against the drug mafia, waged with determination and an unflinching will to eradicate this menace without the slightest concession.
On November 15, Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu led a historic Mega Walkathon from the iconic Ridge in Shimla to Chaura Maidan, heralding the advent of a statewide people’s uprising against Chitta. A similar mass rally and walkathon in Dharamshala further galvanized public sentiment. Reiterating the Government’s unwavering intent, the Chief Minister proclaimed that dismantling the Chitta nexus is not merely an objective but the Government’s singular and inviolable mission.
The campaign is expanding rapidly, from state headquarters to panchayats, to villages, and now to every household. Every section of society is being mobilized to participate actively in this movement. In Dharamshala, the Chief Minister further broadened the multidimensional strategy by exhorting citizens to share credible information regarding Chitta networks and announcing rewards for informants. This signifies a profound evolution, the anti-drug initiative has metamorphosed from a governmental programme into a potent, people-driven movement.
