How Delhi Police’s war against drugs saved India from becoming another Colombia © Provided by The Print I looked after the anti-narcotics section of the Crime Branch for nearly five years (1985–1990) during my tenure as Deputy Commissioner of Police Crime and Railways in Delhi Police. Considering the deadly impact of drugs on children and the youth, the new NDPS Act, 1985, was enforced. It culminated in our action-based marathon study on 5,834 drug peddlers and abusers which the Research Cell of Delhi Police under my charge conducted at that time. Drug trafficking was already on the rise in the first half of the 1980s in and around Delhi, particularly heroin, popularly called smack. The union government as well as Delhi Police took up the challenge of controlling drug- based crimes very seriously. The situation had become grim with rampant drug abuse and drug-based crimes.
