Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin administered an anti-drug oath on Thursday, 11 August, to 30 lakh students across the state — the largest ever anti-drug awareness outreach in the world.

He also announced a slew of measures to curb the use of drugs in the state: A toll-free number for leads, appointment of a Narcotics Intelligence Bureau (NIB) DSP in every district, stepping up vigil at state borders, public expose of kingpins and those involved in the drug trade, and invoking stringent provisions in the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

“Don’t think I’m a soft chief minister. I’m soft only towards honest people. For those who do wrong, especially those facilitating the drug trade, I will become a dictator for them,” was Stalin’s stern warning at a meeting with senior officials.

South First spoke to Additional Director General of Police (Crime) Mahesh Kumar Aggarwal, who has been at the forefront of the Tamil Nadu Police’s Drive Against Drugs (DAD) campaign, to understand the reasons behind the high-profile crackdown on drugs in the state. Excerpts from the interview:

Q. The DAD campaign has been going on for a while now. What explains this renewed interest in pushing for an anti-drug awareness campaign?

A: Tamil Nadu has been performing well in terms of controlling the flow of drugs. If you look at the national survey, we are doing much better compared to other states.

However, it is not a question of comparative performance. It is about whether drugs are available in the state.

The chief minister’s vision is a drug-free Tamil Nadu. That’s why we are seeing a renewed vigour in this area.

We have been focusing on the enforcement of the NDPS Act to control the supply of drugs. To a large extent, we have been successful.

However, if we have to ensure a drug-free Tamil Nadu, we should also focus on the demand side. That is why we have launched a massive awareness campaign.

It is definitely an ambitious target, but it is possible to achieve it with everyone’s cooperation.

Q: How widespread and alarming is the drug situation in Tamil Nadu right now?

A: Like I said, if you look at the national survey, Tamil Nadu is performing well. But we are not satisfied with just that. Why should even a single family be affected due to drugs?

It is a question of sensitivity. If the plight of even a single family or few families due to drug-related problems alarms you or concerns you, then the situation is alarming.

It is concerning as long as drugs are prevalent to even the smallest extent in society.

Q: Though we have seen reports about the police department cracking down on small-time drug peddlers, what about the big fish? How many of them have been caught?

A: Over the past year, we have been focusing on catching the big fish (drug lords). Our strategy has been to establish and bust the forward and backward links. From June 2021 to June 2022, we seized 29,000 kg of ganja (marijuana).

We have also started financial investigations into the drug trade. Basically, the NDPS Act has provisions to freeze the assets of narcotic offenders.

In the last six months, we have carried out financial investigations in 50 cases relating to the top guys involved in this illegal trade. The movable and immovable properties of the accused have been frozen. If they are convicted, these will be confiscated.

For some people, jail is a matter of stigma and acts as a deterrent. For others, jail may not have a deterrence value, but the freezing of assets deters them as they won’t be able to enjoy the wealth or the proceeds of their crime.

Hence, the financial investigation into such cases assumes significance. It is a holistic approach that we have been adopting to strike at the illegal drug trade in Tamil Nadu.

Q: One of the most concerning aspects is how drugs are being sold close to schools and colleges, making youngsters vulnerable to their dangers. How is the department dealing with this issue?

A: In the last few months, we carried out focused raids and checks near schools and colleges. What you mentioned is also one of the reasons why the focus of our new campaign targets students. We want to create awareness among them.

Anti-drug clubs are being set up in every educational institution for this purpose. One of the main reasons students fall into the trap of drugs is peer pressure. Through these clubs, we are trying to counter that peer pressure because these clubs will essentially create another kind of peer pressure: against the use of drugs.

We have also launched the NSS and NCC volunteering programme. Under this initiative, NSS and NCC cadets are required to devote 30 hours of their time in a year to spread anti-drug awareness through different methods. Those who complete 30 hours of volunteer work will be given a certificate. The best-performing units at the district and state levels will also be recognised.

We have also released a 25-minute film to be shown in schools. This film will be screened in every school for students in Class 9 and above.

This is a well-thought-out film that explains to the students the harmful effects of drugs and how they could affect their lives.

The chief minister also made a very emotional appeal in the video to the students.

Q: What about cross-border drug trade and surveillance at ports and airports? How effective is it?

A: There is a mechanism called N-Cord or Narcotics Coordination. This involves the coordinated efforts of state and Central agencies such as the NCB, Customs, DRI, port and airport authorities, coast guard, postal department, and the health department to fight the drug trade.

We conduct regular meetings with officials from these agencies and departments to improve our efforts.

In the last six months, the chief secretary of the state organised two such meetings to ensure proper and smooth coordination between different departments to fight the menace of drugs.

Q: Drugs are sold online as well. What steps are you taking to tackle this?

A: We are going for a merger of the prohibition enforcement wing and the narcotics intelligence bureau.

Under this, a new cyber cell will be set up for surveillance over the sale of drugs and narcotic substances over cyberspace and the Dark Web. The online sale of drugs will be monitored more rigorously.

Q: Chief Minister MK Stalin said in the meeting that he would become a dictator to those officials who are facilitating the drug trade in Tamil Nadu. How big a problem is this?

A:  The message from the chief minister is very clear: that there will be zero tolerance of any kind of connivance by police officials in facilitating the drug trade.

A few instances of this came to our notice, and strict action has been taken against the offenders.

A warning has been issued to everyone in the department not to indulge in any such acts.

போதைப் பொருள் இல்லாத தமிழ்நாடு!

தமிழ்நாட்டில் சமீப காலமாக போதைப் பொருள் விற்பனையும், பயன்படுத்துவோர் எண்ணிக்கையும் அதிகமாகிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது.

தமிழ்நாட்டில் சமீப காலமாக போதைப் பொருள் விற்பனையும், பயன்படுத்துவோர் எண்ணிக்கையும் அதிகமாகிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது. முதல்-அமைச்சர் மு.க.ஸ்டாலின், எதையும் மறைப்பதில்லை. உண்மை நிலையை, நாட்டின் நடப்பு நிலையை அப்படியே சொல்லிவிடுகிறார்.

அந்த வகையில், கடந்த 10-ந்தேதி சென்னையில், "போதைப் பொருட்கள் இல்லாத தமிழ்நாடு" திட்ட தொடக்க விழாவின்போது, "தமிழ்நாட்டில் நாளுக்கு நாள் போதைப் பொருட்களின் பயன்பாடும், அதற்கு அடிமையாகிறவர்களின் எண்ணிக்கையும் அதிகமாகி வருவதை நினைக்கும்போது, எனக்கு கவலையும், வருத்தமும் அதிகமாகிறது" என்று வெளிப்படையாகவே தெரிவித்தார். போதைப் பொருட்களின் பயன்பாட்டை வேரோடும் - வேரடி மண்ணோடும் களை எடுக்க அரசு மட்டுமல்ல, போலீஸ் மட்டுமல்ல, மக்கள் அனைவரும், குறிப்பாக இளைஞர்கள் உறுதி எடுத்துக்கொள்ள வேண்டும்.

ஆந்திரா, ஒடிசா மற்றும் வடமாநிலங்களில் இருந்து, தமிழ்நாட்டுக்குள் கஞ்சா மற்றும் போதைப் பொருட்கள் கடத்தி சென்னைக்கு கொண்டுவரப்பட்டு, இங்கிருந்து தமிழ்நாட்டின் பல இடங்களுக்கு கொண்டு செல்லப்படுகின்றன. சென்னை சென்டிரலில் சமீப காலமாக கஞ்சா பிடிபடுவது அதிகமாகி இருக்கிறது. தமிழக போலீஸ் டி.ஜி.பி. சைலேந்திரபாபு கடந்த டிசம்பர் முதல் மார்ச் வரை கஞ்சா வேட்டை 1 என்றும், ஏப்ரல் முதல் ஜூலை வரை கஞ்சா வேட்டை 2 என்றும் மாநிலம் முழுவதும் போலீசார் அதிரடி சோதனைகளை நடத்த உத்தரவிட்டார். இந்த இரு வேட்டைகளிலும், பள்ளிக்கூட மாணவர்கள், கல்லூரி மாணவர்கள் கஞ்சா விற்றது, பயன்படுத்தியது, பஸ் மற்றும் ரெயில் நிலையங்கள், ஏன் ஆஸ்பத்திரி வளாகங்களுக்குள்ளேயே கஞ்சா விற்பனையானது கண்டுபிடிக்கப்பட்டது. ஏராளமானவர்கள் கைது செய்யப்பட்டனர்.

சில ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு அத்திப்பட்டு ரெயில் நிலையம் அருகே, கஞ்சா பொட்டலங்கள் கொண்ட மஞ்சள் பை ரெயிலில் இருந்து தூக்கிவீசப்பட்டதையும், அதை ஒருவன் எடுத்து சென்றதையும் 'தினத்தந்தி' போட்டோகிராபர் படம் எடுத்து, தினத்தந்தியில் அது பிரசுரிக்கப்பட்டது.

முதல்-அமைச்சர் மு.க.ஸ்டாலின் போதைப்பொருள் இல்லாத மாநிலமாக தமிழ்நாட்டை உருவாக்குவோம் என்று சூளுரைத்து, கடந்த 10-ந்தேதி சென்னையில், போதைப் பொருள் தடுப்பு குறித்து மாவட்ட கலெக்டர்கள் மற்றும் காவல் துறை கண்காணிப்பாளர்களுடன் ஆலோசனை நடத்தி, கடுமையான உத்தரவுகளை பிறப்பித்தார். "எனது காவல் நிலைய எல்லையில் போதை மருந்து விற்பனையை முற்றிலுமாக தடை செய்துவிட்டேன்' என்று ஒவ்வொரு காவல் நிலைய போலீஸ் இன்ஸ்பெக்டரும் உறுதி எடுத்துக்கொண்டாலே போதும், அதுவே முதல் வெற்றி. போதைப் பொருள் நடமாட்டத்தை தடுத்துவிட முடியும்" என்று கூறி, பல்வேறு உத்தரவுகளையும் பிறப்பித்தார்.

இப்போது இருக்கும் பல சட்டப்பிரிவுகளை குறிப்பிட்டு, போதைப் பொருள் குற்றங்களை செய்பவர்கள், குறிப்பாக பள்ளிக்கூடங்கள், கல்லூரிகள், சமூகக் கூடங்கள் போன்ற இடங்களில் போதைப் பொருள் விற்பவர்களுக்கு அதிக தண்டனை பிறப்பிக்கவேண்டும் என்று முதல்-அமைச்சர் மு.க.ஸ்டாலின் உத்தரவிட்டார். மிக அருமையான மற்றொரு ஆலோசனையாக, போதைப் பொருட்களை முற்றிலுமாக ஒழிக்க, அடுத்த நாள் நடந்த விழாவில் பேசும்போது, 2 ஆலோசனைகளை அவர் கூறினார். முதல் வழி, போதை மருந்து நடமாட்டத்தை கட்டுப்படுத்துவது, அதை விற்பவர்களை கைது செய்வது, இது சட்டத்தின் வழி. இதை அரசும், குறிப்பாக காவல் துறையும் கவனிக்கும். 2-வது வழி, போதை மருந்துகளை பயன்படுத்த வேண்டாம் என்றும், அதனால் ஏற்படும் பாதிப்புகளை உணர்த்தும் வகையில், விழிப்புணர்வை ஏற்படுத்துவதும் தான். இதை பொதுமக்களும் இணைந்து செயல்பட்டால் மட்டும்தான், அத்தகைய விழிப்புணர்வை ஏற்படுத்த முடியும் என்று கூறி, கடந்த 11-ந்தேதி முதல்-அமைச்சர் மு.க.ஸ்டாலின் தலைமையில் 30 லட்சம் மாணவர்கள் பள்ளிகளில் உறுதிமொழி எடுத்துக்கொண்டனர்.

இது ஒரு சமுதாய சீர்கேடு என்ற வகையில், ஒரு பக்கம் காவல் துறையும், மற்றொரு பக்கம் பொதுமக்கள் ஏற்படுத்தும் விழிப்புணர்வும்தான் தடுக்க முடியும். அதை செய்யும் கடமை ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் இருக்கிறது.

Today, Tamil Nadu is the finest state in all departments. In terms of career development and technological advancement, Tamil Nadu has become the model state in India. It fills me with immense happiness and pride.

However, as the prevalence of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances is becoming a social evil worldwide, considering our constitutional rights and the responsibility our country undertook with the International declaration – the government of Tamil Nadu has been conducting various awareness campaigns and taking serious actions against ‘manufacture, consumption, traffick of narcotic drugs’. As it is the responsibility of the Tamil Nadu Police Department to restrict the entry of narcotic drugs into the state, the department of Narcotic Intelligence Bureau is integrated with the Alcohol Prohibition Enforcement Unit by the government of Tamil Nadu to become an anti-drug unit that operates full-fledged across all the districts of Tamil Nadu.

The Narcotic Intelligence Bureau that has been inaugurated in 1963 is actively engaged in safeguarding the youths of Tamil Nadu from falling into the traps of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. The bureau is working along with many other departments to prevent drug-related crimes with the help of technological advancements. In order to prevent narcotic drug activities, the government has decided to seize the properties which are earned by trafficking narcotic drugs. This way, the bureau is beginning a new chapter in controlling drugs.

The commitment of the Narcotic Intelligence Bureau, under the governance of the Tamil Nadu Police Department is tirelessly working - to provide knowledge and awareness of narcotic drugs - to prevent people from getting addicted to drugs - to build a society without drugs and drug abusers is admirable.

The emergence of the Narcotic Intelligence Bureau and their goal to conduct awareness campaigns, explaining the aftermath of drug abuse via short films, to show that the society is rising with the goal “narcotic drugs have vanished from the state entirely”, is giving me immense happiness.

I would like to extend my hearty wishes and appreciation to the Narcotic Intelligence Bureau for their determination and focus on eradicating the existence of such social evil and their dedication to protecting society. I wish for the bureau to thrive in its actions. Let society be drug-free. Let society benefits from the new initiatives such as “prevent, destroy, eradicate narcotic drugs”, “rehabilitation of drug abusers”, and finally preventing drug addiction by “creating awareness” by this department. A drug-free society is the only path for the state’s industrial development! The path towards an intelligent and healthy society!
