He said these operations reflect the commitment and coordination of the police force in tackling drug-related offences. “The seizures and arrests send a clear message that such activities will not be tolerated in our society. Every action taken contributes to protecting our communities and supporting those working towards a drug-free Nagaland,” the Dy. CM maintained.

While lauding the efforts of the officers and personnel involved in these operations, Patton urged upon all to continue to support and encourage all steps taken towards the goal of a drug-free society and Nasha Mukt Bharat.
