In Balurghat, West Bengal, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari recently demonstrated the destruction of over 2 lakh seized cough syrup bottles using a road roller as part of the 'Nasha Mukt Bharat' campaign. Present at the event were BJP MP and Minister of State Sukanta Majumdar. This initiative marks the launch of the campaign in South Dinajpur district for the first time.
The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of freeing the youth from drug addiction, noting that significant quantities of narcotics have been seized since the current government took office near the Indo-Bangladesh border. Previously, cooperation between Border Security Force (BSF) and police was lacking, but recent improvements have been made.
Adhikari also announced two significant projects for South Dinajpur, including the operation of Balurghat airport and the construction of a medical college and hospital. The Chief Minister expressed optimism that Balurghat airport would soon be operational and that the medical college site could be inaugurated by December 2026, eliminating the need to travel to Bagdogra or Purnea for his visits.
