The BJP state unit of Tripura has geared up to present weekly bulletin highlighting the BJP-IPFT government’s success of the past ten months.
With
this in mind, the saffron brigade has launched a weekly bulletin on
Sunday highlighting the new government’s success in the crackdown on the
illegal trade of narcotics like ganja, yuba tablets, heroin, brown
sugar and phensidyle.
Reports quoting party’s chief spokesperson
Dr Ashok Sinha stated that the party leadership has resolved that there
will be briefing on weekly basis on the success achieved by the BJP-led
government in the state to make people aware about the functioning of
the government.
Another party spokesperson Nabendu Bhattacharjee
was quoted as saying that under the BJP-IPFT rule, there has been a
‘remarkable success in the anti narcotic drive across the state with 660
persons being arrested in 433 cases under NDPS Act since March 3 last
year.’
Bhattacharjee has also criticized the Left government for
taking a ‘soft stand’ on the use, sale and smuggling of narcotic items,
banned cough syrups and addition tablets.
Notably, in 2015, only
67 persons were arrested against 72 under NDPS Act while 62 persons were
nabbed by police for their alleged involvement in 56 drug smuggling
cases during 2016.
