According to A. Amalraj, another CEO of the police, the CID-CID enforcement office, was a proliferation of encrypted applications for sending messages and social media groups.
The drug recovery agencies tightened vigilia on the usual perpetrators and well -known drug syndicates, but those who smuggle narcotic substances over land and sea borders, transactions on social media platforms.
“Social media platforms are now used for sale of narcotics masked as candies or chocolate-Trend, which caused Swift police interventions. Places in night life, hostels and university campuses remain the main goal for drug-pedlers,” Dr. Amalraj.
Based on a robust strategy involving the prevention, detection, enforcement, coordination between the agency, the destruction of smuggled, financial investigation and the programs of increasing youth awareness, Tamil’s reaction excelled as a model for other countries, he said.
The state police intensified operations under the Act on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDP), focused on drug hotspots and adopted advanced methods of supervision. Uneven drugs were mostly traded from other countries. Between 2021 and 2025, the police seized over 107 tons of Ganja, 3.2 lakh tablets of pharmaceutical drugs and 1,223 kg of other narcotic substances.

Dr. Amalraj said that the seizure of 5,250 Ganja chocolate in July “which was to be discreetly sold to university students” was one of the examples of developing drug syndicate tactics and proactive reactions for law enforcement.
He stressed that he emphasized the need for community participation in the community and said that people were withdrawn to report suspicion of drug activities on designated help (10581), WhatsApp (9498410581) AE -mail (spnibcid@gmail.com).
Dr. Amalraj said that the proximity of Tamil Nadu to the states where the drugs originated, and its extensive coast made it a strategic location for drug trafficking. Regular coordination with anti-arriving working groups of neighboring states has been set for controlling drug trafficking into the state. These partnerships facilitated increased supervision, intelligence sharing and common raids, especially in border areas and on drugs routes.
He said that drugs are not only a social problem, but an illegal business often linked to sophisticated financial networks. In this background, the state aggressively followed the financial investigation to remove the economic infrastructure supporting the trade of narcotics. Between 2021 and 2025, the recovery agencies have stiffened 8,949 bank accounts and 45 real estate worth more than 21 GBP Crore.
The state realized that prevention was more sustainable than treatment, and began awareness of awareness focused on schools and universities. The “Enakku Vendam, Zammako Vendam” initiative addressed more than 74 Lakh students who have committed themselves to stay far from narcotics. The main minister managed the students every year 11th August Drug Pled.
Dr. Amalraj said that the state has changed its educational institutions to the frontline battlefield against the abuse of addictive substances. Clubs against drugs have now worked at almost all universities, coordinated teams of monitoring at the level of districts reporting to the collectors and police guards. Volunteers were trained in identifying early signs of drug use and advice.
New threat
While traditional narcotics like Ganja and Heroin continue to represent challenges, Tamil faced a new threat – abuse of pharmaceutical drugs. Between 2023 and 2025, a seizure of pharmaceutical drugs increased sharply from 39,910 to more than 1.42 lakh tablets. These were prescription drugs such as painkillers, anxiety drugs, antidepressants and stimulants, often diverted from legal channels or acquired from online platforms. This alarming trend has caused increased pharmacy regulation and monitoring of electronic trading platforms.
Investigators intervened on prescription drug trafficking networks. Reports suggest that illegal distribution networks have been bridged by states such as Maharashtra, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Traders used different methods, including crushing tablets for injection, combining drugs with nitrous oxide and their sales in the form of candy, ADGP said.
He said that strategy against the drugstore of the state exceeded repressive negotiations. The state has launched 25 de-závisla centers in government hospitals to offer free treatment, counseling and vocational education. In parallel, the Kalangarai centers offered integrated dependent support to seek re -integration into society. This was a positive step towards the shutdown of those who were caught on the web.
