New Delhi- To strengthen the institutional structure and coordination among the narco agencies, the National Narcotics Helpline (MANAS) will be launched by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi.

This is one of the steps taken by the government to make the country drug-free by 2047. The government is committed to addressing the issue of drug trafficking and eradicating it from the society.

To achieve this goal, the Ministry of Home Affairs has developed a comprehensive strategy, which includes strengthening the institutional structure, coordination among all narco agencies, and extensive public awareness campaign.

As part of this strategy, a number of steps have been taken, including organizing meetings of all stakeholders at the all level of the four-tier system on regular basis.

The launch of a dedicated centralized NCORD Portal for sharing of activities and best practices is a significant step. It has been made possible to bring together the efforts of various government agencies at the national and state levels for the common goal of countering drug trafficking and abuse.

The government is determined to make the country drug-free by 2047. The launch of MANAS and the establishment of a dedicated anti-narcotics task force (ANTF) in each state/UT are important steps in this direction.

These initiatives will help in strengthening the institutional structure and coordination among the narco agencies, which will ultimately contribute to the achievement of the government's goal.
