Punjab Health and Family Welfare Minister Surjit Kumar Jyani on Friday pitched for making dope test mandatory for candidates applying for Government jobs or any other service as part of Government’s efforts to curb drug menace in the State.
“We should make dope test mandatory for every candidate appearing for any Government service or he is applying for licenses like driving, arms etc and any other Government facility,” he said.
Jyani was of the firm opinion that everyone applying for Government employment and for any type of licenses and availing any other Government facility or benefit should be subjected to dope test and whosoever tests positive should be debarred for life from getting any Government service, license and facility or benefit.
