The Haryana government has come up with an action plan to effectively fight drug trafficking and launch an incentive-based scheme for whistleblowers who provide information about the menace in the state.

The action plan was drawn at the first meeting of the State Coordination Committee held here today under the chairpersonship of Chief Secretary Urvashi Gulati, an official spokesman said here.

The Coordination Committee has been constituted for strengthening the institutional mechanism to prevent illicit production of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances and its leakage from illicit sources in the state, he said.

It was decided at the meeting to prepare an action plan to combat the menace of drug trafficking and involve the civil society and the experts working in this field to take corrective measures, he said.

Crime Branch DIG Rajpal Singh has been appointed as the nodal officer for the implementation of the plan, the spokesman said.

The Chief Secretary said an intensive awareness campaign against the ill effects of drug addiction by government agencies and voluntary organisations would be the focus of the action plan.

Services of people, who were drug addicts but are reformed now, would also be utilized for creating awareness in schools and colleges as these people could visualize the problem more clearly, she said.
