Retrofitting Tamil Nadu to strike at drug menace
Tamil Nadu has launched a comprehensive strategy to combat drug abuse, spearheaded by the new Anti Narcotics Task Force (ANTF). This multi-pronged approach involves specialized policing, financial investigations, cyber-surveillance, and extensive inter-departmental coordination (Health, Education, Rural Development, Municipal Administration, Information & Public Relations) for rehabilitation, awareness, and community participation. The initiative aims to dismantle drug syndicates, target financial networks, and leverage technology to achieve a 'Drug-Free Tamil Nadu', addressing both supply and demand for narcotics.
