Tamil Nadu stands at the forefront of India’s war on drugs. Attempts to malign the State collapse under the weight of the facts. Massive seizures and crackdowns speak for themselves.
Conviction rates under NDPS rose from 80 percent in 2022 to 88 percent by June 2025, with 3,493 offenders convicted from 4,889 cases, the highest ever.
Read this insightful article by Tamil Nadu DGP Thiru. Shankar Jiwal in @the_hindu, packed with data and evidence:
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin affirmed that the state stands resolutely at the forefront of the national campaign against illicit narcotics trafficking, declaring that malicious political propaganda collapses entirely when confronted with verified law enforcement data. Directing public attention to an analytical article authored by Director General of Police Shankar Jiwal in The Hindu, Stalin highlighted that proactive policing, intelligence-driven operations, and forensic rigor have produced historic enforcement outcomes across the state.
The Chief Minister pointed out that judicial conviction rates under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act rose dramatically from 80 percent in 2022 to an unprecedented 88 percent by June 2025. Stalin detailed that law enforcement agencies successfully secured convictions against 3,493 narcotics offenders across 4,889 prosecuted cases, marking the highest judicial conviction benchmark ever recorded in the state's institutional history.
Stalin reiterated his government's zero-tolerance policy toward illicit drug syndicates, emphasizing that statewide crackdowns, property attachments of drug peddlers, and coordinated campus awareness drives protect vulnerable youth. He reaffirmed that Tamil Nadu Police will continue operating with total operational autonomy to eradicate narcotics networks.
