War on drugs will be at district level: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced a district-level approach to the war on drugs in India, with the local administrative unit becoming the primary battlefield to dismantle illicit networks. During the inauguration of the third National Conference of Anti-Narcotics Task Force heads of states and UTs in Delhi, Shah outlined a new framework categorizing districts into three distinct clusters based on their role in the narcotics supply chain.

The enforcement agencies will execute a simultaneous, three-level attack against drug cartels, targeting their primary touchpoints, inter-state distribution systems, and local sales networks operating within individual districts. Shah emphasized a shift from routine meetings to active missions, from a seizure-centric mindset to total network dismantling, and from initial case registration to final court conviction.
