Definitions
Street slang primarily used in parts of India and South Asia for heroin — a highly addictive opioid that has caused widespread harm across communities. The term is part of the local drug vocabulary that often varies by region and changes over time as enforcement patterns shift. Like most street drug slang, 'chitta' reflects the coded language users and sellers develop to talk about substances without using explicit terms that might attract attention.
Local health workers are working to reach young people in areas where chitta use has spiked in recent years.
