UP Police seizes drugs worth Rs 5,000 crore in five years
1 2 Lucknow: In a sweeping crackdown under the directive of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the state police have launched one of their most aggressive anti-drug offensives in recent years. The campaign, coinciding with the International Day Against Drug Abuse (June 26), involved coordinated action across both urban and rural pockets of the state as part of a fortnight-long awareness and enforcement drive from June 12 to 26. According to DGP Rajeev Krishna, the campaign is not merely a law enforcement initiative but also a "battle for the future of our youth and our nation." Visiting the headquarters of the state's Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF), the DGP launched a renewed state-wide anti-drug initiative, instructing all police units to couple tough enforcement with robust community outreach. "We are committed to making the ANTF a formidable bulwark against the drug trade in Uttar Pradesh," said DGP Krishna, adding that consistent crackdowns, public engagement, and targeted operations are central to achieving a Nasha Mukt Uttar Pradesh. Over the past five years, UP Police have made remarkable headway in the war on drugs. A staggering 282,450 kilograms of illegal substances—ranging from synthetic drugs to cannabis and heroin—were seized, with an estimated international value of Rs 5,000 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Moreover, as many as 50,282 cases were registered under the NDPS Act, resulting in the arrest of 57,965 individuals involved in drug trafficking.

Since its inception, the ANTF has registered 269 criminal cases, arrested 744 accused, and seized 29,520 kilograms of drugs valued at Rs 283 crore in international markets.
