Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday expressed concern over the use of drugs by youth in a few areas of the State adjoining Punjab.

He said although the State has remained untouched by drug menace, it has started raising its “ugly head” in a few areas of the State adjoining Punjab.

In such circumstances, the women police stations could play a vital role in educating the youth about the ill effects of drugs, he said.

The Chief Minister was presiding over a meeting to review the functioning of women police stations in the State. - PTI
