# Goa police enlist courier firms in drive against drug trafficking 2026-08-17T06:29:41+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Goa police have roped in courier companies and postal operators to help detect narcotics being smuggled through delivery networks. The initiative is part of a three-year action plan under the Centre's 'Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan' to dismantle organised drug supply chains and prevent the state from being used as a transit hub, timesnownews.com reports. The police recently held a meeting in Panaji with over 80 representatives of courier and postal agencies. An official said the aim was to sensitise operators to look for suspicious consignments with pseudonymous bookings, incomplete sender or receiver details, unusual packaging, or inconsistent declarations. The Anti-Narcotics Cell has found LSD and other synthetic drugs hidden inside books, photo frames and other everyday items sent through courier services. A senior police official said the move targets systematic use of courier and postal channels by inter-state and international trafficking networks. The Enforcement Directorate, probing money laundering linked to narcotics, found syndicates using courier services alongside digital payments and cryptocurrencies. The plan includes regular awareness sessions and information sharing with logistics operators. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant also flagged off 46 new patrol jeeps bought for Rs 5.26 crore. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
