Hyderabad, June 25 (Namaste Telangana): In order to eradicate drugs, the Telangana State Anti-Narcotics Bureau (ANB) set up by the state government is making remarkable progress. Under the leadership of DGP Anjani Kumar as per the orders of CM KCR, the ANB is achieving astonishing results. ANB Director CP Anand is actively working towards curbing the illegal trafficking of narcotics and raising awareness among the youth about the dangers of drug abuse. On the occasion of International Day against Drug Abuse (June 26), they are organizing programs under the name ‘Parivartan’ throughout the state.
In the past four months, the police have made 8,227 arrests related to marijuana and other synthetic drugs. They have registered 3,612 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. They have arrested 8,227 people involved in drug trafficking and registered cases against 476 individuals under the PD Act. They have seized approximately a hundred tons of marijuana. Out of those arrested, 84 are foreigners.
The police are constantly vigilant against illegal drug trafficking. They are cracking down on drug smugglers in all districts and major cities. The Telangana police are successfully intercepting drug shipments from Andhra Pradesh to Mumbai and Bengaluru and vice versa. They are effectively cutting off all links involved in illegal drug trafficking. With the efforts of the police, there has been a 60% reduction in narcotics cases in the past year. Foreigners are also closely monitoring Telangana due to the success of ANB.
Under the name ‘Parivartan’, various awareness programs are being conducted to bring about a change in the mindset of the youth. We are removing drug soldiers from all colleges. Those who are involved in drug trafficking are being forced to join us in our fight against drugs. Friends have a responsibility to report drug users without fear. Our police are working tirelessly to make Telangana drug-free and transform it into a drug-free state.
