Odisha is keen on busting the illegal drug trafficking which is hampering the reputation of the state. Moreover, illegal drugs are being consumed by the youth, and thereby they are going towards the wrong path of crime and illegal activities. Therefore, the government of Odisha is strict on eradicating drug trafficking to make the state safer and cleaner from illegal activities.
Therefore, the government of Odisha has created a Taskforce to deal with illegal drugs Trafficking. The Task Force will be led by none other than former Odisha DG Police, Abhay. He will formulate a state policy within the context of National Policy on Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, 2012, the State home department said in a resolution.
In Odisha, it is imperative to give a serious push to efforts to contain drug abuse and drug trafficking, so that the emerging problem is nipped in the bud. This can be done by a combination of demand reduction, supply reduction, and harm reduction measures, it said.
