AMARAVATI: Chief Secretary G. Sai Prasad has ordered that the use of marijuana and drugs, which are harmful to the society, should be suppressed with an iron fist in the state under any circumstances. The first quarterly meeting of the Narcotics Coordination (NCORD) for the year 2026 was held at the Secretariat on Wednesday under his chairmanship.
Speaking on this occasion, he directed Eagle Chief Ravi Krishna to take strict steps to completely prevent the use of marijuana and other intoxicants, which are becoming harmful to the society.
He said that marijuana and drugs are not a problem of one or two departments but a social problem, so only if we can act very strictly in terms of their control can we completely prevent them. Therefore, he said that all departments need to work more coordinatedly in this matter.
He clarified that there is a great need to protect society and our children from these. CS Sai Prasad said that the DO will write a letter to the Odisha CS to coordinate on the control of marijuana cultivation and transportation.
CS Sai Prasad clarified that strict measures need to be taken to prevent the sale of various intoxicants (drugs) without a doctor’s prescription.
In this regard, he said that steps will be taken to issue special orders so that wholesale dealers can inform the Eagle office in advance about the amount of various drugs purchased and sold at retail, including the type of drug, batch, etc., online. The CS said that by doing so, the use of drugs like NDMA and cocaine can be controlled.
CS Sai Prasad instructed the officials of the department to resolve them as soon as possible as there are about 200 NDPS cases pending with the Excise Department.
He said that steps will be taken to introduce special curricula from classes 6 to 12 from the next academic year to create awareness about the ills caused by the use of marijuana and other intoxicants.
Eagle (Elite Anti Narcotics Group for Law Enforcement) Chief IG A. Ravikrishna said that efforts are being made to launch the Eagle website soon with Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. Officials of the relevant central and state government departments participated in this meeting.
