Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha on Monday attended the Bhoomi pujan programme for the establishment of 200-bedded integrated drug deaddiction centre at Bishramganj in Sepahijala district of the state and said that the government has adopted zero tolerance policy to build Nesha-Mukt Tripura.
Addressing the function, the Chief Minister Dr Saha said that the government is putting utmost effort to end the drug menace in the state.
