Assam to intensify fight against drugs

Earlier, Assam CM Himanta on Sunday said that the state government will intensify its fight against drugs over the next five years .

"The Assam government would adopt even more stringent measures against drug trafficking over the next five years," the Chief Minister said and appealed to the people to extend their full cooperation in the campaign.

He further said that Assam has emerged as a transit route for heroin, methamphetamine and Yaba tablets smuggled from different parts of Myanmar to various states across the country.

"The trend as a matter of serious concern. Taking action against major drug traffickers is highly challenging, as the principal operators often remain outside the country while engaging multiple intermediaries for transportation and distribution," the Chief Minister said.
