Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has cited the drug trafficking problem portrayed in the film Udta Punjab to convey the gravity of the situation triggered by the transit of drugs through his state.
After veteran AGP legislator Prodip Hazarika raised the issue of drug trafficking during the Zero Hour in the Assembly on Wednesday, Sarma made a strong pitch for the ongoing statewide crackdown against the trafficking and consumption of drugs in his 29-minute speech.
