Will not allow drug trade in the country: Amit Shah

India | Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the successful results of the government’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy against drugs have started showing and the government is resolved that neither the trade of drugs will be allowed in the country nor they will be exported to the world through India. I will go out somewhere.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah in his message on ‘International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking’ on Monday said that the mainstay of the zero tolerance policy is the government’s ‘whole of government approach’ in which efforts are being made in coordination with different departments. The policy has been made effective. Congratulating the organizations and people who are campaigning against drugs, he said that it is a good thing that this time also the Drug Control Bureau is organizing ‘Nasha Mukt Pakhwada’ at all India level.

The Home Minister said, “It is our resolve that we will not allow the trade of narcotics in India, nor will we allow drugs to go out of the world through India. In this campaign against drugs, all the major agencies of the country, especially the ‘Narcotics Control Bureau’, are continuously continuing their war. An Anti-Drug Task Force was constituted in 2010, whose first national conference was held in Delhi in April last. He said that campaign against drug abuse and side effects is being carried out on a war footing at the national level through appropriate forums.
