The dark web, cryptocurrency, online markets and drones continue to pose challenges to the country, and the joint efforts of law enforcement agencies must challenge these countries, the alliance’s interior minister Amit Shah said on Saturday.
Shah, who chaired a regional meeting on “drug trafficking and national security,” also asserted that the country would not even allow a kilogram of drugs to enter and exit the country.
He said the government not only succeeded in eliminating many drug networks, but the terrorism they contacted was also destroyed.
He said many cases of Narko terrorism were destroyed in Jamu and Kashmir, Punjab, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, which was a major achievement.
“Even today, the dark web, cryptocurrency, online markets, drones still pose a challenge to us,” he said.
Shah said that technical solutions to these problems must be addressed through the joint efforts of the states, central governments and technocrats to achieve security and development in the country.
He said.
He said 7% of people in India use drugs illegally, saying the fight against drugs has gained new strength under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He said: “In the past decade, seizures seizures have increased sevenfold, which is a major achievement. The Modi government sent a strong message through strict action that the entire drug has been destroyed through strict action Ecosystem.”
The Home Secretary said that in 2024, the Narcotics Control Board (NCB) and the police in the country took the biggest action against drugs, an important step in building a drug-free society.
“No country can move onto the path of development with the addiction of the younger generation who are addicted to drugs. We all have the responsibility to challenge this challenge together and do everything we can to win the battle,” he said.
Shah said that during the 2004-14 year period, a total of 3.63 kilograms of drugs were caught, while during the 2014-24 year period, a total of 2.4 million kilograms of drugs were caught – a seven-fold increase compared to the past decade.
He said that drugs worth Rs 81.5 billion were sold in 2004-14, but in 2014-24, drugs worth Rs 54,851 crore were destroyed – an increase of eight times over the past decade .
The conference was organized by the NCB to address the growing concerns of drug trafficking and its impact on national security, with particular attention to eight states and trade union territories in northern India.
Shah also started two weeks of drug treatment from Saturday to January 25.
He said that during this period, drugs worth Rs 8.6 lakh will be destroyed.
Shah stressed the importance of timely policy, strength enhancement, meticulous microplanning and consistent monitoring to address future challenges.
He said the Modi government has worked quickly to destroy drugs, uncover the network, and put the entire ecosystem under the control of the law.
The Home Secretary said that in order to achieve the success of the non-toxic India movement, it is necessary to find technical solutions to these challenges by law enforcement agencies, state governments and young people involved in the field; only then can the battle be results-oriented.
He urged all states to strictly destroy illegal secret laboratories and take legal action against them with a ruthless attitude.
Shah said the Modi government is adopting a ruthless approach to the drug supply chain, a strategic approach to reduce demand and a humane approach to victims.
He stressed the need to strategically and carefully expand the use of legal provisions on confiscated assets.
The Home Secretary stressed the importance of developing regional strategies and establishing mechanisms to systematically escalate cases, which would improve the effectiveness of the campaign.
He also highlighted the central government’s efforts to develop anti-numerous institutions and urged police forces in all border countries to support this initiative by organizing hackathons and actively promoting progress in the field.
“It’s time now, we can all contribute to this battle and win the game successfully,” he said.
The conference is participating in the eight participating states, UTS and Centers governors, chief ministers, and senior officials.
