"We Will Destroy Drug Cartels By 2029": Amit Shah To NDTV | Read

In a push to make India drug-free, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday vowed to destroy drug cartels by 2029. Speaking to NDTV Editor-in-Chief and CEO Rahul Kanwal at the Bihar Power Play conclave in Patna, he said their fight against drugs has been going on for the past four years with "very good" planning. "It has been going on from the district level to the state level to the Indian government, and the plan has been very successful," Shah said when asked if they would fight drug cartels with the same intensity they have worked to eliminate Maoists. "We have broken the record of arresting drug traffickers and drug dealers in the last three years," he said.
