Shah wages war on drug cartels, says no mercy

HOME Minister Amit Shah on Sunday reiterated the government's commitment to uprooting the illegal trade of drugs as he lauded the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) for seizing a consignment of methamphetamine tablets worth ₹88 crore and arresting four members allegedly linked to an international drug cartel in Imphal and Guwahati zones.

"The NCB, through its five zonal units and a regional headquarters in the Northeast, has been continuously working against drug traffickers operating in the region, particularly those involved in the trafficking of synthetic drugs such as methamphetamine tablets, commonly known as YABA, which pose a threat not only to the young population of the region but also to the security of the nation as a whole," the Union minister said.
