Highlighting the urgency of the situation, Vaishya asked the SDMs to invoke the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. He instructed them to issue notices to accused individuals under the Act, specifically to probe into the sources of their moveable and immovable properties.
SDMs were also instructed to conduct thorough assessments and pinpoint areas with concentrated drug-related activities.
Emphasising a proactive stance, the district magistrate urged SDMs to conduct regular meetings within their jurisdictions. “Consistent vigilance is crucial in our battle against narcotics. Regular meetings will ensure a sustained and coordinated effort,” he stated.
