State police forces have been instructed to integrate the conversion of raw information into actionable intelligence directly into their daily organisational culture.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>To ensure tangible results, Shah mandated an immediate shift across all state ANTFs, seeking a transition from routine meetings to active missions, from simple reporting to proven results, from a seizure-centric mindset to total network dismantling and from initial case registration to final court conviction.<\/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=\"14\"\/>Reiterating India\u2019s resolute stance to not allow a single gram of drugs to enter or exit the country, Shah expressed confidence that this synchronised grassroots strategy will secure complete victory and achieve a \u2018Nasha Mukt Bharat\u2019 by 2029.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Shah also directed police departments to abandon surface-level drug seizures in favour of comprehensive backward and forward investigations, financial auditing and tracing of digital links to choke cartel funding. He emphasised the aggressive application of PIT-NDPS Act alongside tight coordination with public prosecutors from investigation to conviction.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>On emerging global threats, Shah called for specialised \u2018out-of-the-box\u2019 officer teams in every state to tackle synthetic drugs, precursor chemical diversion, dark-net markets, crypto transactions and dead-drop delivery systems. Furthermore, he mandated a dedicated campaign to deport and blacklist foreign drug offenders operating in India, while tracking and extraditing overseas fugitives supplying drugs into the country.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/war-on-drugs-will-be-at-dist-level-amit-shah\/articleshow\/134423394.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Union minister Amit Shah presents the Best ANTF trophy to Telangana EAGLE Force director Sandeep Shandilya during the third National Conference of Anti-Narcotics Task Force heads of states and UTs in Delhi Tuesday.
