The Supreme Court of India, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, has raised alarms over the severe drug crisis in Punjab, describing the situation as 'terrible' and 'going out of hand.' During a hearing, the Chief Justice pointed to the tragic case of a mother who lost all five of her sons to drug addiction, questioning the state government's response to such crises. He criticized law enforcement for focusing on minor drug offenders while neglecting to pursue the 'bigger sharks' involved in trafficking. The Chief Justice suggested the establishment of a Central agency to monitor drug-related cases across India, emphasizing that the current approach is insufficient. He expressed disappointment over the police's tendency to seek publicity by arresting small-time peddlers instead of addressing the root causes of the drug problem. CJI Kant also shared that he has faced threats for his efforts to combat drug trafficking during his tenure at the Punjab and Haryana High Court, indicating the significant challenges faced by those addressing this issue.
