New Delhi, April 20: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that the government is committed to building drug-free India by 2047.
“We have evolved an action-plan; we have a long-range vision to ensure that this menace of drugs is eliminated. We are working on multi-dimensional and multiple strategies towards that end,” Amit Shah said, while addressing the first National Conference Heads of Anti Narcotics Task Force of States and Union Territories.
The Union Home Minister said it is very important to safeguard the future generations and this necessitates strict action against drug dealers who are ruining the young generation and destabilizing the economy.
“We are very clear and determined to take ruthless action against drug dealers. It is only then this movement gains momentum,” Amit Shah added.
According to Amit Shah, the need of the hour is for all the states to work unitedly and in a coordinated manner. “We need to work closely with National Forensic Science University and use modern technology like block chain analysis, map intelligence and digital forensics,” the Union Home Minister explained.
Shah said in the fight against drug menace, we need to be two steps ahead. “We need to move forward with the bottom to top and top to bottom approach to destroy the entire network of narcotics,” he added.
Shah was of the view that ‘solution oriented thinking’ was the need of the hour which can happen while working in tandem with National Forensic Science University.
