Latehar officials are stepping up efforts to fight drug trafficking and opium cultivation in the district. District Collector (DC) Utkarsh Gupta led a recent meeting with the Narcotics Coordination (NCORD) Committee to improve how different agencies work together. The focus is on stopping the illegal drug trade by increasing cooperation between law enforcement and local government.
During the meeting, DC Gupta checked on the progress of local police and officers in stopping opium farming. He ordered them to take strong action against anyone involved in buying or selling opium. Also, he emphasized identifying and shutting down areas where opium is commonly grown. This direct approach aims to disrupt the supply chain of illegal drugs in the region.
The NCORD committee stressed the importance of teamwork to combat the illegal drug trade. This involves sharing information between departments and conducting joint operations. In addition, they plan to educate the public about the risks of drug abuse. By improving coordination, the district hopes to develop a stronger plan to address drug-related problems.
These NCORD meetings are part of an ongoing plan to monitor and control drug activities in the region. The goal is to ensure the safety and health of the community. By addressing the reasons behind drug trafficking and cultivation, the district wants to create a drug-free environment for its residents. This cooperative approach is important for making a real difference in the fight against drugs in Latehar.
