In a significant step, the Assam Police has launched the “Drugs Free Assam” mobile app, allowing citizens to anonymously report drug-related activities. The app provides a secure platform for individuals to share information about drug trafficking, cultivation, and consumption.
“The Drugs Free Assam mobile app is a crucial tool in our fight against the drug menace,” stated a senior Assam Police official. “It empowers citizens to become active participants in the fight against drug abuse and provides us with valuable information to target our enforcement efforts.”
The Assam government has also taken a firm stance against drug traffickers, launching a major crackdown on drug cartels operating in the state. In recent months, the police have seized large quantities of heroin, marijuana, and other illegal drugs, and arrested numerous drug traffickers.
“We are determined to eradicate the drug menace from Assam,” asserted Himanta Biswa Sarma, Chief Minister of Assam. “We will not tolerate drug trafficking in our state and will take all necessary measures to protect our youth and society from the devastating effects of drug abuse.”
The Assam government’s drug-free campaign has received widespread support from various stakeholders, including NGOs, educational institutions, and community leaders. The campaign has also resonated with the youth, who have actively participated in awareness drives and anti-drug rallies.
With a multi-pronged approach that combines awareness, enforcement, and community engagement, the Assam government is committed to creating a drug-free Assam and safeguarding the well-being of its citizens.
