Out of the total drugs destroyed, 1,29,363 kg of seized drugs valued at Rs 3,138 crore has been destroyed by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) alone," said the Ministry.The Ministry further said it has adopted a three-pronged formula of strengthening the institutional structure, empowerment and coordination of all narcotics agencies and a comprehensive awareness campaign to crack down on narcotics.The issue of drug smuggling is not an issue of the Centre or state but a national issue and efforts to deal with it should also be national and unified, the MHA further said.To deal with the menace of drugs effectively, the Ministry appealed that "all the states should convene meetings of district-level and state-level NCORD regularly.""Using the latest technology in the fight against drugs should be the way forward and the use of drones, artificial intelligence and satellite mapping for identification and control of areas cultivating opium should be looked into, diligently. The cases of drugs should be investigated thoroughly from its source to destination to crack down on its entire network," it also added.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
