This year’s theme, ‘The evidence is clear, invest in prevention’ reminds us that awareness, education and early support are our strongest tools.

In Andhra Pradesh, we’ve launched The Elite Anti-Narcotics Group for Law Enforcement (EAGLE), a bold initiative by our government to curb the drug menace through strict enforcement and community vigilance.

Let’s invest in our youth, not in addiction, he posted.

It is known that the AP government has started using drones to identify the cultivation of cannabis. To discourage the use of drugs and drug-related crimes, the AP government has started a website that will have pictures of individuals involved in drug offenses.

Toll-free number 1972 has been started to report drug activities. The government also took the decision of withdrawing welfare schemes to families involved in drug trafficking.

Minister Nara Lokesh is actively involved in all programmes meant to wipe out drug menace in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
