Chief minister orders a two week anti drug drive in every district of West Bengal

Ei Muhurte reported that the chief minister ordered a special anti drug drive across West Bengal for the following two weeks and directed the state director general of police to act on it. According to the report the announcement was made at Surjapur in Baruipur, where the chief minister had gone to meet a bereaved family and where he inaugurated a police outpost. The report quotes him saying that illegal liquor dens and the trade in ganja, charas and other drugs were among the causes behind a crime in Baruipur, that a special drive would run in every district, and that action would be taken against illegal liquor and drug premises. That causal account is the chief minister's own as reported. The directive is state wide and the recorded coordinate marks only where it was announced.
