WHAT HAPPENED

Punjab Police say heroin availability has fallen, but pharmaceutical drugs sourced from other Indian states are becoming a growing challenge. The supplied information does not quantify the scale of the shift.

SO WHAT?

A changing drug supply can redirect overdose and addiction risks rather than reduce them.
