Shillong: Continuing its battle against drug abuse, the Meghalaya government, led by Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, carried out the incineration of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances worth Rs. 53.86 crore at Star Cement Ltd. in Lumshnong, East Jaintia Hills District.

The event was organised by the High Level and District Level Drug Disposal Committee of Meghalaya Police.

The occasion was attended by Deputy Chief Ministers Prestone Tynsong and Snaiwbhalang Dhar, Health Minister Ampareen Lyngdoh, MLA Santa Mary Shylla, and other dignitaries, all of whom attended the significant event in support of the state’s ongoing efforts to eradicate the drug menace.

During his address, Sangma reiterated the state’s strong commitment to combating drug abuse, which has severely impacted the lives of many young people across Meghalaya.

“This is part of our continuous effort to eliminate the drug crisis, which has ruined the lives of countless youth in our state,” he said.

He emphasised that the government, through the Drug Reduction, Elimination, and Action Mission (DREAM), is actively supporting vulnerable youth who are battling drug addiction.

The incinerated drugs were seized in connection with various cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act across five districts: East Khasi Hills, West Khasi Hills, Ri Bhoi, West Jaiñtia Hills, and East Jaiñtia Hills.

The drugs disposed of were a result of extensive efforts by Meghalaya Police in their crackdown on the illegal drug trade.

The chief minister assured that the state government would continue to focus on addressing the root causes of drug abuse, alongside strengthening law enforcement and rehabilitation efforts.

He further stated that the government is committed to providing a healthier and drug-free environment for the youth of Meghalaya through targeted initiatives and community-driven solutions.

The incineration marked a significant milestone in the state’s broader strategy to create awareness about the dangers of drugs and to send a strong message against the drug trade.

With the implementation of programs like DREAM, the state is working to both reduce the supply and demand for illicit substances, while providing much-needed support for those struggling with addiction.
