Punjab's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government constituted a five-member committee of cabinet ministers to monitor the ongoing action against the drug menace in the state, sources said on Thursday.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema will lead the committee and will oversee the actions of police and health departments, they said.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
New and Renewable Energy Minister Aman Arora, Health Minister Balbir Singh, Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar, and Industries Minister Taranpreet Singh Sond are members of the committee.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The Punjab government has adopted a multi-pronged strategy -- enforcement, prevention, de-addiction and rehabilitation -- to eradicate drugs from the state.
&nbsp;
The government's latest step comes amid continued criticism from opposition parties over the drug menace in the state.
