💨 Abstract

In Punjab, illegal de-addiction centers exploit families battling drug addiction. These centers, operating without proper medical care or oversight, promise a "cure" but confine patients in squalid conditions. The state has rescued over 30 people since January from such centers. The issue first came to light in 2018 when over 200 inmates were rescued from an illegal center.
