The Centre is formulating a detailed strategy to tackle menace of drugs in Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Amit Shah told Amarinder Singh during a meeting here. According to a Punjab government spokesperson, Shah said this after Singh called on him this evening and reiterated his demand for a National Drugs Policy.
The Punjab Chief Minister also urged Shah to press uponPakistan on the need to construct an overbridge over the Ravi river tofacilitate devotees to travel through the Sri Kartarpur Sahib corridor in allseasons without any obstruction.
The link over the Ravi has been stuck over Pakistan’s”adamant insistence” on building a causeway over the creek betweenthe bridges being constructed by the two countries on their respective side. Singh pointed out that a causeway as proposed byIslamabad would get flooded in the monsoon season, thus obstructing passagethrough the historic corridor, the spokesperson said.
