Modi government that is determined to wipe out drug threat from India, says Amit Shah

The Narendra Modi government is determined to wipe out all kinds of drugs from the nation and makes a total attempt to achieve this goal, said the Interior Minister Amit Shah Tuesday (September 16, 2025).

With the attention of the second national conference of heads of Anti-Narcotics Task Force (Antf) of states and trade union areas, he also said that the time was to change the scale against the drug threat, so that there are more successes in the coming days.

The conference, organized by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), started on Tuesday in New Delhi (September 16, 2025).

The Minister of the Interior said: “Premier Modi has set an objective of 2047 to make India a fully developed and great nation. To realize this dream of Premier Modi, the country must be completely safe,” he said.

“The modi government is determined to wipe out the drug threat from the country and makes total efforts to achieve this goal,” said Mr Shah.

“PM Modi has set the vision to create an India by 2047 that the number one will be in every aspect of the world and fully developed – a nation that is safe enough that no one can penetrate. Our young people are the greatest hope for this, and if they are determined, nothing is impossible because they form the basis for a nation.”

Mr Shah said in some parts of the world that people have seen the connection between the development of a nation and the challenge of drug abuse. “Unfortunately, two of the regions from which drugs are delivered worldwide are very close to us. So this is the time that we fight against it strongly,” he said.

The Minister of the Interior said that it is very important to save the young generation from drugs to achieve the purpose of a fully developed India. “The basis of every great state is the young generation,” said Mr Shah.

Mr Shah said there are three types of narcotic cartels – one that works on all access points in the country, another is the distribution of access point to the state, and the third are those in small stores or kiosks, who sell drugs.

“The time has come to give a big blow to these three types of cartels. I believe it can only happen when the officers responsible for working against drugs decide to take strong action against them,” the minister said.

The Minister of the Interior also seized the process of destroying drugs worth £ 4,794 crore in various parts of the country.

On Monday (September 15, 2025), Mr Shah said that the Modi government was determined to eradicate the threat of drugs by uniting all Antfs. He also published the NCB’s Annual Report 2024.

The NCB has actively coordinated with the GST department, the government controllers, income tax authorities and financial institutions to discover the full extent of the drug -offset network.
