Goa Police Engage Courier Services to Curb Drug Trafficking via Postal Networks
Goa Police have initiated a three-year plan under the 'Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan' to combat drug trafficking using courier, postal, and delivery services. Following incidents like concealed hashish shipments, authorities held awareness sessions with over 75 representatives from courier and postal companies to identify suspicious parcels, such as those with incomplete details or unusual packaging. The police highlighted the use of 'dead-drop' methods where traffickers coordinate drug pickups via delivery partners unaware of the illicit contents, aiming to prevent Goa from becoming a narcotics transit hub.
