We pledge to continue combating the drug menace...to build a drug-free Bharat Amit Shah, Union home minister
NEW DELHI: Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday said the Modi government is unsparing in punishing drug traffickers who drag the youth into the dark abyss of addiction for the greed of money.
In a post on X, Shah said under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the government pledges to continue combating the drug menace with ruthless and meticulous investigations to build a "drug-free Bharat".
He said, as a result of a foolproof investigation with a "bottom to top" and "top to bottom" strategy, 29 drug traffickers have been convicted by courts in 12 different cases across India.
This success is a testament to the "bottom to top" and "top to bottom" approach adopted by the government, an official release said.
