Background

Studies indicate that while migrant labourers from states such as Bihar and Uttar Pradesh (who comprise a significant portion of manual workers in Punjab) are disproportionately affected in certain low-wage sectors—sometimes exploited by employers providing drugs to extend working hours—the majority of opioid-dependent individuals in the state are local residents, including educated and employed ethnic Punjabis.

Punjab has one of India's highest per-capita rates of opioid dependence (approximately 0.84% in 2015, roughly four times the national average), with the state ranking second nationally (after Uttar Pradesh) in absolute numbers of opioid users and among the top states for prevalence of illicit opioids and injection drug use.
