In Shillong, Meghalaya, the Anti Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) has heightened its efforts against drug trafficking in the region, as confirmed by Paul Lyngdoh, an adviser from the Social Welfare Department. Recent operations led to the seizure of a significant quantity of illegal drugs in Mawlai, a locality in Shillong. The authorities have been vigilant in monitoring drug distribution networks and working closely with local law enforcement and community organizations.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to combat the rising drug problem in the area, which has been exacerbating societal issues. The ANTF, along with Meghalaya Police, is actively engaging in awareness campaigns to educate the public about the dangers of drug abuse.
As part of these efforts, the Village Defence Party (VDP) is collaborating with law enforcement to help identify and curb drug-related activities in their communities. During recent patrols, VDP members assisted police in dismantling local drug operations, showcasing the community’s commitment to a safer environment.
Lyngdoh emphasized the importance of these operations, stating that they are crucial for maintaining public safety and reducing drug-related crime. The local government is dedicated to creating a drug-free society and will continue to support the ANTF’s initiatives in combating substance abuse and trafficking.
As these efforts unfold, stakeholders from various sectors are encouraged to join the fight against drugs. The community, coupled with the government and law enforcement, aims to turn the tide on this pressing issue and foster a healthier, safer Shillong.
