Mumbai – The deaths of two youths at a music concert in Goregaon and the flourishing drug trade in the state are signs that Maharashtra is heading towards becoming another ‘Udta Punjab’. The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) has demanded that the government launch a ‘drug-free Maharashtra’ campaign without further delay. Since the lives of the youth are being ruined by anti-Indian culture, strict action must be taken against the organisers and administrative authorities responsible for events such as ‘Sunburn’, music concerts and rave parties. The HJS has consistently opposed the ‘Sunburn Festival’ in Mumbai and Goa in the past, as the social and national harm caused by such events far outweighs the revenue generated from them.
The widespread narcotics network is not limited to addiction alone; it is a major conspiracy to hollow out the nation. According to data from the Narcotics Control Bureau, the seizure of drugs worth ₹2,000 crore in 2025 and the discovery of drug manufacturing units in cities such as Nashik, Mumbai and Satara pose a serious challenge to national security. Situated between the ‘Golden Crescent’ and the ‘Golden Triangle’, India is being used as a transit route by smugglers. The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has urged the government to take serious note of this issue and protect the younger generation by taking action not only against smugglers but also against the organisers of such events.
