This is a great initiative by Delhi Police! Our youth are the future of Bharat and we must protect them from this menace. The sheer quantity of drugs destroyed shows how serious the problem is. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

While I appreciate the crackdown, I hope the focus isn't just on destroying seized drugs but also on rehabilitation programs. Many addicts need help, not just punishment. The government should allocate more funds for de-addiction centers.

Rs 10,520 crore worth of drugs destroyed since the campaign began! That's insane money. Imagine if this was going into terrorist funding or corrupting our youth. Big salute to our police forces 👮‍♂️

Operation Kavach 8.0 sounds impressive but I wonder how these drugs keep coming in. Shouldn't we have stricter border controls? Especially with our neighboring countries where some of these drugs originate from.

The numbers are staggering but I hope this isn't just for show. We need sustained efforts - not just during special campaigns. Drugs destroy families and communities. More power to Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan!

As a mother, this news gives me hope. But we need more awareness programs in schools and colleges. Prevention is better than cure. Maybe involve Bollywood stars in campaigns - youth listen to them more than lectures.
