The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has extended the Anti-Narcotics Scheme for 3 more years to combat illicit trafficking in drugs and psychotropic substances.
The scheme was first launched in October 2004 for period of five years.
It aims to assist states and Union Territories financially which are contributing in controlling inter-state and cross-border drug trafficking.
The main strategy under the scheme includes reduction of both supply and demand of drugs and psychotropic substances
