Exhaustion is a real issue for our leaders. The pressure must be immense. Hope he takes proper rest. The 'War Against Drugs 2.0' is a much-needed initiative. Making our youth aware in schools is the right step forward.
While I wish him good health, I have to say this respectfully: our leaders need to set an example for work-life balance. If the CM is pushing himself to exhaustion, what message does it send to the common citizen? Health should come first, always.
The focus on community involvement in the anti-drug campaign is impressive. Felicitating the Village Defence Committee is a great way to encourage local heroes. Hope the CM recovers quickly to continue this people's movement.
Speedy recovery, Bhagwant Mann ji. The drug menace has ruined so many families in Punjab. Any serious effort to tackle it has my full support. Involving parents and students is key. Jai Hind!
Health is wealth. He should take a proper break. The fight against drugs is a marathon, not a sprint. We need our leaders healthy for the long haul. Wishing him good health and strength. ❤️
