It also created the NIDAN database of narcotics offenders and a nationwide data-driven map of drug hotspots and trafficking patterns. The government now uses a \u201cbottom-to-top\u201d and \u201ctop-to-bottom\u201d reverse investigation model, tracing small drug seizures back to their source and large consignments forward to their intended users to uncover the wider network.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Shah also highlighted the government\u2019s claims on internal security, saying terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir was declining and the sentiment of separatism had weakened since the abrogation of Article 370.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>He said those who had envisioned a Maoist \u201cred corridor\u201d from Tirupati to Pashupati had laid down arms and joined the mainstream, while more than 10,000 youths in the northeast had also surrendered their arms.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Shah said Naxalism, which had persisted for five decades, had become a thing of the past. \u201cWe have eradicated Naxalism and will deal with menace of narcotics in the same manner,\u201d he asserted.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/we-eradicated-naxalism-will-eliminate-narcotics-amit-shah-on-drug-free-india-by-2029\/articleshow\/133837940.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India to be drug-free by 2029, says Amit Shah;
