In declaring an all-out war with a "collective ruthless approach" against the worrying rise in drugs and narcotie substances across the country, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has drawn the nation's attention to an issue that tends to fly below the radar.

Recommending a "top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top" investigation and action, Shah tasked the union government to prepare a roadmap up to 2029-2030 with a time-bound review mechanism for its implementation and directed DGPs in all states to take concrete steps to destroy the networks of drugs and narcotic substances in their territories.
