Graffiti highlights drug crisis in Punjab village
In a village in Punjab, India, people woke up to see graffiti on walls saying that heroin is openly sold there.
This made everyone very worried and angry.
The police quickly covered up the graffiti.
The village has had many problems with drugs, and the police have been trying to stop it by catching people and taking them to treatment centers.
Some people think the graffiti was made to embarrass the government before an upcoming election.
The police say they have reduced drugs in the village by 70%.
There have been some deaths, but the police say one recent death was not from drugs.
The village and the police are working together to make the area drug-free.
Graffiti in Maur Kalan, Punjab, highlights the open sale of heroin in the village.
Police have registered 27 FIRs and seized 142.65 grams of heroin in recent months.

AAP government faces embarrassment ahead of rural polls, with internal party differences speculated to fuel the graffiti.
Police claim a 70% reduction in drug availability and ongoing efforts to treat addicts.
