Himachal CM Thakur Sukhvinder Sukhu Expresses Concern Over Drug Mafia’s Past Patronage While Ensuring Swift Action in Bilaspur Shooting Case

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Sukhu visited Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC), Shimla, to inquire about the health of former legislator Bamber Thakur, who suffered gunshot injuries in an incident that took place on Friday in Bilaspur. Expressing his concern for the injured leader, the Chief Minister conveyed his best wishes for a speedy recovery, assuring that the state government is committed to ensuring justice in the matter.

In an informal conversation with media persons during his hospital visit, CM Sukhu stated that doctors are providing the best possible medical care to the injured leader and confirmed that he is now out of danger. Acknowledging the gravity of the situation, the Chief Minister emphasized that this is a highly serious matter, and the police have been directed to take swift and decisive action against those responsible for the attack. He revealed that the police acted swiftly overnight, conducting multiple raids, which led to the arrest of several suspects linked to the incident. He reassured the people that the government will take strict action against the culprits, ensuring that law and order remain intact in the state.

Responding to a question regarding protests staged by the Opposition, CM Sukhu underscored that while democratic protests are a right, the opposition should also cooperate with the government in ensuring the welfare of the state. He raised a pertinent question, stating, “The real issue here is how the drug mafia was allowed to flourish in the first place. Who gave them the patronage that allowed them to expand their operations in Himachal Pradesh?” He highlighted that the current government has taken strong measures to combat the drug menace, resulting in a 30 percent decline in drug-related cases across the state.

The Chief Minister emphasized that his government has undertaken an aggressive crackdown on drug networks, with the aim of dismantling organized crime syndicates involved in drug trafficking. He disclosed that in a recent high-level meeting, he had ordered a comprehensive crackdown on the drug mafia, ensuring that all law enforcement agencies work in coordination to uproot the menace. Furthermore, he announced that the state government will introduce stringent laws in the ongoing budget session of the Vidhan Sabha, aimed at imposing harsher penalties on individuals and groups involved in organized crimes and drug-related activities.

With a firm stance against crime, CM Sukhu reiterated that his administration will not tolerate any elements that threaten the peace and security of the state. He called upon the people to support the government’s mission to eradicate drug abuse from Himachal Pradesh and safeguard the younger generation from the clutches of narcotics. The fight against the drug mafia is a top priority for his government, and no stone will be left unturned in ensuring that the state remains a drug-free zone.

Accompanying the Chief Minister during his visit were Speaker of Vidhan Sabha Kuldeep Singh Pathania, Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr. (Col.) Dhani Ram Shandil, Industries Minister Harshwardhan Chauhan, and MLA Harish Janartha. Their presence underscored the government’s collective commitment to law and order, as well as the ongoing battle against drug trafficking in the state.
