Amit Shah Vows 'Zero Tolerance' on Drugs, Plans NCB Office in Every State

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has reiterated the government's commitment to a 'zero tolerance' policy towards drugs, announcing plans to establish a Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) office in every state. During a review meeting in Chhattisgarh, Shah highlighted the growing threat of synthetic drugs, which are more harmful and expensive than natural drugs. He emphasized the need for a united effort to achieve a drug-free nation, citing Chhattisgarh's higher-than-average sedative usage as a concern. The establishment of NCB offices in every state aims to bolster narcotics control efforts and fulfill the Prime Minister's vision of a drug-free India.
