Meghalaya social welfare minister Paul Lyngdoh on Monday spoke on the government's resolve to curb the drug menace in the state. Informing that seven districts have emerged as drug hotspots, Lyngdoh stated that the government has approved the draft policy of the ‘DREAM’ mission to tackle the drug issue on a war footing.

This development comes days after the Anti Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) of South Garo Hills arrested 3 persons from the village of Gasuapara after a huge consignment of the contraband Phensedyl was found from their possession.

As per reports, sources informed the SGH police about contraband being stored in the house of one Badal Koch in the village of Kodomboka. The area is close to the border with Bangladesh which has a very high demand for the contraband, amongst others.

Upon receipt of the information, an ANTF team of SGH raided Koch’s house from where at least 256 bottles (100 ml each) of the banned cough syrup was recovered.

All the suspects involved in the illegal trade were arrested along with Koch. Police however added that they are on the lookout for the kingpin who is allegedly hiding in Assam.

The three suspects taken into custody are Badal Koch, Dilgrak M Sangma and Sengbath R Marak (both of Purakhasia, WGH) and a case has been registered at Gasuapara police station.
