Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma says his government is stepping up action against drug trafficking and the wider drug menace in the state. In public remarks, he defends police operations against suspected narcotics traffickers and says the crackdown is part of a broader effort to improve enforcement.
Sarma also emphasizes that combating drug trafficking requires coordinated action, including coordination across jurisdictions and with authorities beyond Assam’s borders. He argues that firm, sustained policing is needed to disrupt supply networks.
In addition to enforcement, Sarma highlights rehabilitation as a component of the strategy. He links police action with measures aimed at addressing the harm caused by drugs and supporting recovery, with the stated goal of making Assam drug-free. Both accounts describe the CM’s position as a justification for current police steps and a commitment to further tightening anti-drug measures in the coming period.
