Union Home Minister Amit Shah has unveiled the Nasha Mukt Bharat 2029 roadmap, a strategic plan aimed at eradicating the trafficking of narcotics across India’s borders. The roadmap delineates a comprehensive approach focusing on three core areas: reducing the supply of drugs, curbing demand, and minimizing harm associated with drug abuse. Shah emphasized that since 2019, the government has been steadfastly executing a coordinated national campaign targeting drug networks.
Key measures highlighted by Shah include the implementation of the four-tier NCORD mechanism, the establishment of Anti-Narcotics Task Forces in all states and Union Territories, and the introduction of a national rehabilitation helpline. In addition, the government has developed the NIDAN database to track narcotics offenders and employs data-driven techniques to map drug networks and identify hotspots.
Shah shared significant accomplishments in enforcement, noting that authorities have seized over 29,968 kg of synthetic drugs, valued at more than ₹19,600 crore, between 2020 and July 2026. Furthermore, from 2019 to July 2026, the total confiscation of narcotic and psychotropic substances surpassed 93.34 lakh kg, illustrating the scale of the government’s efforts against drug trafficking.
In a bid to dismantle the financial infrastructure supporting drug networks, the government has confiscated properties worth ₹1,841 crore across 3,016 cases between 2024 and June 2026. These actions underscore a broader strategy to undermine not just drug distribution but also the economic foundations of these illicit activities.
During his visit to Goa, Amit Shah reviewed the state’s security preparedness. However, he curtailed his schedule to return to Delhi, underscoring the priority given to the national anti-drug initiative and the ongoing efforts to bolster India’s security framework against narcotics-related challenges.
