With Gujarat having the country’s longest coastline, the Gujarat Police has adopted a ‘Zero Tolerance’ policy against drug networks to make the state completely ‘drug-free’. The police have worked to prevent the youth of Gujarat and other states from falling into drug abuse. As part of this effort, dedicated ‘Anti-Narcotics Wings’ (ANW) will now be made operational in every district and city of Gujarat. At present, teams of LCB/SOG/Local Police in every city and district are registering cases against narcotic substances. In addition to this, the work will now also be undertaken by dedicated ANW Units. Over the past five years, the Gujarat Police has registered more than 3,700 cases under the NDPS Act and arrested 5,346 accused. During this period, more than 1.36 lakh kilograms of drugs worth approximately Rs. 13,600 crore have been seized, crippling international drug-smuggling networks. To strengthen the fight against drug networks and make it more effective, State Police Chief Shri Gyanendra Singh Malik has taken another important decision. On the lines of the state-level Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF), ANW units will now be established at every district and commissionerate level. All these units have been ordered to become operational within the next 7 days. ..........
