A narcotics reward policy has also been implemented in Gujarat to boost the motivation of police officers, employees, and informants involved in this campaign.

Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghvi emphasized that the fight against drugs is akin to a battle between man and demon. He appealed to all conscientious citizens, including saints, religious leaders, political leaders, actors, social leaders, and influencers, to unite as ‘one family’ and help protect the youth of Gujarat from the grip of these addictive substances.
