Narcotics Control Bureau anti-trafficking operations

Overview

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has intensified efforts to combat drug trafficking through inter-agency coordination and targeted enforcement operations across multiple Indian states.

In Uttarakhand, the NCB held a Joint Coordination Committee meeting in Dehradun to strengthen strategies against smuggling routes connected to Nepal. Discussions focused on monitoring darknet and cryptocurrency usage, implementing a new Vision Document for drug control, and coordinating with Odisha to dismantle cannabis supply networks.

In Rajasthan, the agency conducted similar coordination meetings in Jaipur to enhance intelligence sharing and investigate the illicit diversion of opium. Simultaneously, in Jharkhand, the NCB dismantled a trafficking ring in Ranchi, arresting six individuals. This network allegedly maintained international links to Thailand and Nigeria, using railway staff to transport cocaine and synthetic drugs while utilizing international mobile numbers to facilitate trade.
