Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced at a national conference that India's illegal drug trade will be completely uprooted by the end of 2029. Highlighting a critical paradigm shift in national security enforcement, the address emphasized moving beyond peripheral street-level seizures to systematically dismantling entire trafficking syndicates. The strategy prioritizes rigorous financial investigations, tracing complex digital footprints, and aggressively targeting the accumulated profits generated by drug cartels.
