He said after coming to power, the Congress government had pledged to root out the drug menace. He said since the district shared a long border with Punjab, police officers of both the states had been directed to chalk out collective strategies to check drug peddling. The police would be under no political pressure to free any offender, who had been arrested, he added.

Meanwhile, the final match was won by Football Club, Una, which defeated Football Club, Saloh, by one goal to nil. On behalf of the organisers, the Deputy CM gave away a cash award of Rs 9,100 to the winning team and Rs 7,100 to the runners-up, besides trophies.
