Digital Goa, July 17 – Around 25 Kg of narcotic drugs worth Rs 1.10 crore seized in 36 drug related raids across the state was destroyed at the Bio Medical Waste Treatment Plant today. CM Sawant who was present at the site said that he made it a point to be there as he wanted to give ‘Say no to drugs message’ to the youth, especially those from coastal belts. Last year Rs 72 lakhs worth drugs were destroyed, Sawant added. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), in coordination with the Anti-Narcotics Task Forces (ANTFs) of all states, destroyed narcotics worth over Rs 2,300 crores in various parts of the country today. Union Home Minister Amit Shah oversaw the destruction of the drugs virtually, on the sidelines of the Regional conference on ‘Drug Trafficking and National Security’ chaired by Shah.
