The BJP government in Tripura led by Chief Minister Manik is leaving no stone unturned to wipe out drugs menace from the state.
As part of the Nasha Mukt Tripura (Drugs Free Tripura) the Tripura Police conducted a special week long drive in which contraband worth over Rs 2. 5 crore have been seized. During the Anti-Narcotics Special Drive, altogether 245 persons involved in drugs trade have been arrested while 50 cases have been registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS Act, 1985).
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha took to Twitter and informed about this. In his Tweet, the Chief Minister said,”Tripura Police remains committed towards Nasha Mukt Tripura.”
In 2022, during the meeting of NE Chief Ministers with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Guwahati, Tripura Chief Manik Saha (then serving his first term) had informed the latter that the state recorded the highest seizure of drugs and narcotics in four years in the Northeast.
Intelligence reports revealed that Tripura is being used as the corridor of drug trafficking in the region adding that from 2018 to August 2022, as many as 2,701 people have been arrested in connection with 1,776 drugs and narcotics-related cases.
