The Story in Brief
Times Now reports that Goa Police arrested 12 persons and registered 10 cases under the NDPS Act during a statewide overnight crackdown, Operation Prahar. Teams seized ganja, LSD, cocaine, charas, ketamine and ecstasy. Over 1,000 vehicles were checked, 11 trains searched and 120 interstate buses verified. The operation is part of a three-year roadmap to make Goa drug-free. Prime Minister Modi later urged youth to shun drugs, calling addicts 'fighters' who deserve society's second chance.
The Indian Opinion
The government's 'enemy country' narrative around drugs distracts from homegrown demand and supply chains. Enforcement drives like Operation Prahar make headlines, but addiction is a public health crisis, not just a policing problem. The real test will be whether the state funds rehabilitation centres as promised and whether the number of repeat offenders drops over the next year, not just the kilo count of seized cocaine.
