Hyderabad: City police’s anti-narcotic wing, Hyderabad Narcotics Enforcement Wing (HNEW) on Sunday said that it would set up anti-drug committees (ADCs) across educational institutes.
The ADC will monitor the consumption and peddling of drugs. Social media will be used to spread awareness regarding the harmful effects of drugs in educational institutes. Addressing the media commissioner of police CV Anand said, “The HNEW team and local police will be in touch with the ADCs regularly. Also, the ADCs will create awareness about the ill effects of drug abuse.” “After a few big drug-related cases were cracked by us, our coordination with the units like NCB, DRI, Customs, IB and ED increased to a great extent,” he stressed.
“In future, we will strengthen our coordination more to track down narcotics smuggling and peddling gangs and control the inflow and spread into India,” Anand added.
