War against drugs: Modi govt has prepared roadmap to make India drug-free by 2029, says Amit Shah
- On Sunday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced the government has prepared a roadmap to make India drug-free by 2029, aiming to realize the dream of a developed nation.
- The Centre's strategy relies on a four-pillared approach combining intelligence-based enforcement, precursor chemical control, demand reduction, and capacity building, with Anti-Narcotics Task Forces established in all states and Union Territories.
- Official targets include dismantling 100 international and inter-state networks and bringing back 100 fugitives linked to narcotics by March 2029, while at least 75 secret labs will be destroyed in 2026.
- Beyond enforcement, the government is linking awareness, treatment, and rehabilitation with the anti-narcotics campaign, introducing the MANAS helpline to support persons with drug addiction.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi's objective is that drug-free youth power will lead to Viksit Bharat in 2047, Shah said, positioning the anti-drug mission within India's broader internal security and development strategy.
