Battlefront at the Border: Combating Drug Trafficking in Northeast India

Nagaland's DGP, Rupin Sharma, has identified drug trafficking in India's Northeast as a pressing public health and national security issue. At a regional conference, he called for a tech-driven, coordinated approach to combat drug trade stemming from its proximity to the Golden Triangle and the Myanmar border.

Nagaland Director General of Police, Rupin Sharma, has raised a red flag over drug trafficking in Northeast India, labeling it both a public health crisis and a national security threat during a recent conference.

Sharma urged law enforcement agencies to unite in a tech-savvy approach against the influx of narcotics, fueled by the region's closeness to the infamous Golden Triangle and its porous border with Myanmar.

The conference served as a platform for strategizing on dismantling drug cartels, enhancing inter-agency trust, and introducing modern investigative tools to secure the future of the youth and the region.
