Government launched India’s first toll-free national anti-narcotics helpline number.
The government has launched the helpline 1933 also known as ‘MANAS’ (Madak Padarth Nisedh Asuchna Kendra’ or Narcotics Prohibition Intelligence Centre).
Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched it during the seventh apex-level meeting of the Narco-Coordination Centre (NCORD).
It will allow people to tip off the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) about the illegal narcotics business and related issues.
The helpline named MANAS aims to establish a user-friendly platform for every citizen to conveniently report drug-related matters 24×7.
Amit Shah also inaugurated the NCB zonal office in Srinagar virtually. He also released NCB’s 2023 annual report and compendium on “Nasha Mukt Bharat”.
