BSF Holds Seminar On Narcotics Crime

With an aim to educate and spread awareness among BSF personnel about prevention of Narcotics crime, a daylong seminar on Prevention of Narcotics Crime was conducted on Wednesday at Frontier Headquarters, BSF Patgaon in Guwahati.

Deputy Inspector General (PSO) of BSF Guwahati Frontier DK Tripathi, addressing the audience, said, "Drug addiction is a very challenging issue related to youth these days. A major chunk of the youth is caught up in this addiction. These people are wasting their life, time and money by taking intoxicant substances like cocaine, charas, hashish, heroin, opium, ganja, liquor, and cannabis, etc."

"Some anti-national elements are trying to smuggle these narcotic substances on the Indo-Bangladesh border. However, due to the alertness of BSF troops they have been nabbed in such trans-border crimes," Tripathi further added.

The seminar was attended by 40 personnel.
