Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced a three-year nationwide campaign against drug abuse starting March 31, 2026. The initiative aims to make India 'drug-free' by defining clear targets, establishing monitoring mechanisms, and implementing time-bound reviews. Shah directed all central and state departments to prepare roadmaps by March 31, emphasizing a ruthless approach to drug manufacturers and sellers, while advocating for a humanitarian approach towards victims. The campaign also links drug trafficking to narco-terrorism and highlights significant increases in drug seizures and disposal rates in recent years.
