Revanth Govt to Intensify Surveillance on Drug Use

CHIEF Minister A Revanth Reddy on Thursday announced the formation of the Elite Action Group for Drug Law Enforcement (EAGLE) to replace the Telangana Anti-Narcotics Bureau, stating that the new entity will intensify surveillance and enforcement against drug-related activities.

Speaking at the Shilpakala Vedika where a programme to mark the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking was held, the chief minister said, "Telangana has begun efforts to curb drugs and ganja. Even if one ganja plant is grown or drugs are brought into the state, EAGLE will monitor it. Be cautious."

He reiterated the government's aim of making Telangana a drug-free state, asserting that no drugs would be allowed to enter its borders.
