Itanagar: The State government has directed all the district administrations and police across the state to constitute Control, Awareness, Monitoring and Enforcement (CAME) teams to combat drug menace.

Directions have also been given to destroy illicit opium and cannabis cultivation in the districts.

The direction has been issued following the resolution taken during the second state-level multidisciplinary coordination committee meeting held on December 9 last year, at the civil secretariat here in view of the large number of users of opium, cannabis and narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in the state.

“The CAME teams will work in coordination with the state nodal agency, the narcotics control cell of the tax, excise & narcotics department, the Narcotics Control Bureau Guwahati and the Central Bureau of Narcotics, Gwalior,” informed Tax, Excise & Narcotics Secretary Anirudh Singh.
