Our mission is to ensure strong enforcement against drug trafficking, promote international cooperation, rehabilitate drug addicts by decreasing dependence, reduce drug demand in society by raising awareness and make our nation drug free.
Anti Narcotics Force envisions a drug free, healthier and productive nation which is free from the menace of illicit drugs use, trafficking and manufacturing.
Drug use is the most serious contemporary challenge which is culturally alien to our society but accelerating on unprecedented scale. Drug trafficking precipitates in drug consumption and drug addiction with immense social consequences. In the name of modernity and embedded cultural superficiality, segments of our society are falling prey to the menace of drugs.
