Drugs- free India,' a determination in this Amrit Kaal by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make our country free from drug menace needs to be applauded. To move forward this determination of a drugs free nation, Home Minister Amit Shah devised India's strategy to destroy and uproot the drugs network in order to secure the younger generation and launched a scathing attack on the finance of narcotic terrorism.
The Ministry of Home Affairs adopted a three-pronged strategy of zerotolerance policy against drugs. This includes strengthening the institutional structure, empowerment and coordination of all NARCO agencies and extensive awareness campaigns.
Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, there has been emphasis on strengthening and accountability of the system. The Ministry of Home Affairs has made continuous efforts for institutional restructuring and strengthening of legal provisions for narcotics control and elimination. For better coordination and synergy, a four-tier NCORD mechanism was strengthened in 2019 with NCB as nodal agency. Indian Navy, Coast Guard,
Drugs Controller general, National Maritime Security Coordinator, NTRO, Port Trust, Coastal Police and State Police have been included in this coordination mechanism for smooth functioning of war against drugs.
Massive countrywide crackdown on narcotics networks has led to the seizure of thousands of crores of drugs in recent times. With the help of the agencies, Modi Government is doing everything to end the drug menace
