Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President Nitin Nabin commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government for its strong stance against drug trafficking, urging a united front in creating a ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat’. Nabin emphasized the need for a drug-free and healthy India on the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
Under PM Modi’s leadership, the government has escalated its fight against drug abuse through initiatives like the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan, increased actions against drug trafficking, heightened border surveillance, nationwide awareness campaigns, and expanded de-addiction and rehabilitation services. Nabin called for collective efforts to steer the youth away from drugs and build a healthier society.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah unveiled the ‘Narcotics Control Vision Document 2026-2029’ and advocated a technology-driven, resolute approach against drug traffickers during the 10th apex-level meeting of the Narco-Coordination Centre. The government has been actively combating drug abuse since 2014, with a focus on intelligence-led responses and network-centric strategies to achieve a drug-free society.
To address the issue of substance abuse in India, a Comprehensive National Level Survey was conducted, revealing approximately 7.1 crore individuals involved in substance use across the country. The Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan, initiated in 2020, targets vulnerable districts and has expanded nationwide to engage stakeholders affected by substance abuse, including youth, women, children, educational institutions, civil society, and the community at large.
