Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has expressed concerns about the handling of drug-related offenses. He noted that sentences for such cases are often reduced over time, and many cases are dismissed or weakened after four or five years. This, he said, undermines the seriousness of the issue and allows the problem to persist.
To address this challenge, CM Revanth Reddy announced the creation of special courts dedicated to handling drug-related cases. These courts will focus solely on drug offenses, ensuring that such cases are treated with the seriousness they deserve. The goal is to deliver justice more swiftly and consistently.
The Chief Minister’s announcement reflects the government’s growing concern over the increasing problem of drug abuse. By introducing specialized courts, the administration aims to strengthen the legal system, reduce delays in handling cases, and ensure stricter punishment for those involved in drug-related activities. This move is seen as a significant step in combating the drug menace in the state.
