Shah Bats For NDPS Courts In States For Speedy Trials

UNION Home Minister Amit Shah said on Saturday that dark web, cryptocurrency, online marketplace and drones are the emerging challenges to the fight against drug trafficking, and these have to be checked by strict measures.

Chairing a regional conference on 'Drug Trafficking and National Security' at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi, Shah called upon state governments to coordinate with high courts to ensure that more special NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) courts are established for faster trials in narco-terror cases. He called for "an uncompromising fight" against narcotics to safeguard the future generations.
