Punjab's Worsening Drug Crisis Poses Growing Political Challenge for AAP

The Aam Aadmi Party came to power in Punjab partly on promises to tackle the state's long-standing drug menace. The government had sought three to six months to address the crisis, but the situation has reportedly worsened rather than improved. The drug trade has now spread further, reaching remote villages across the state. This deteriorating ground reality is emerging as a significant political liability for the AAP administration in Punjab.
