Narcotic Drugs: An Overview about Narcotics Control Bureau

The National Policy on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances is based on the Directive Principles, contained in Article 47 of the Indian Constitution, which direct the State to endeavor to bring about prohibition of the consumption, except for medicinal purposes, of intoxicating drugs injurious to health.

international conventions guide the government’s policy on the subject which flows from this constitutional provision.

India is a signatory to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961, as amended by the 1972 Protocol, the Conventions on Psychotropic Substances, 1971, and the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, 1988.

Three Broad Policies of the Central Act

Three Central Acts contain broad legislative policy,  viz. Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, and The Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1988. The responsibility of number of Ministries, Departments and Organisations, which is a central function, is carried out through a number of Ministries, Departments and Organisations. These include the Ministry of Finance, the Department of Revenue which has the nodal coordination role as administrator of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, and the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1988.

The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act of 1985. Which came into effect on the 14th of November 1985 made an express provision for constituting a Central Authority for the purpose of exercising the powers and functions of the Central Government under the Act.

In presence of this provision, the Government of India constituted the NARCOTICS CONTROL BUREAU on the 17th of March, 1986. The Bureau, subject to the supervision and control of the Central Government, is to exercise the powers and functions of the Central Government for taking measures with respect to:

Coordination of actions by various offices, State Governments, and other authorities under the N.D.P.S. Act, Customs Act, Drugs and Cosmetics Act, and any other law for the time being in force in connection with the enforcement provisions of the NDPS Act, 1985.

Implementation of the obligation in respect of countermeasures against illicit traffic under the various international conventions and protocols that are in force at present or which may be ratified or acceded to by India in the future.

Assistance to concerned authorities in foreign countries and concerned international organizations. This  facilitate coordination and universal action for prevention and suppression of illicit traffic in these drugs and substances.

Coordination of actions taken by the other concerned Ministries, Departments and Organizations in respect of matters relating to drug abuse.

The Narcotics Control Bureau is the apex coordinating agency. It also functions as an enforcement agency through its zones and sun-zones. Zones are located at Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, Indore, Jammu, Jodhpur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Patna. Sub-zones are located at Ajmer, Amritsar, Bhubaneswar, Dehradun, Goa, Hyderabad, Imphal, Mandsaur, Madurai, Mandi, Raipur, Ranchi, and Kochi. The zones and subzones collect and analyze data related to seizures of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, study trends, modus operandi, collect and disseminate intelligence, and work in close cooperation with the Customs, State Police and other law enforcement agencies.

DRUG CONTROL STRATEGY AND POLICY

The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act 1985 sets out the statutory framework for drug law enforcement in India. This Act consolidates the erstwhile principal Acts, viz. The Opium Act 1857, the Opium Act 1878 and the Dangerous Drugs Act, 1930. The NDPS Act also incorporates provisions designed to implement India's obligations under various International Conventions. Certain significant amendments were made in the Act in 1989 to provide for the forfeiture of property derived from drug trafficking and for control over chemicals and substances used in the manufacture of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.

In order to give effect to the statutory provisions relating to these substances, an order, namely the N.D.P.S. (Regulation of Controlled Substances) Order, was promulgated by the Government of India in 1993 to control, regulate and monitor the manufacture, distribution, import, export, transportation etc of any substance which the Government may declare to be a 'controlled substance' under the Act. The statutory regime in India consequently covers drug trafficking, drug related assets as well as substances which can be used, in the manufacture of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. Some further amendments were incorporated in the NDPS Act in 2001, mainly to introduce a graded punishment.

The primary counter-narcotics focus areas in India include:-

Surveillance and enforcement at import points and land borders.

Preventive and interdiction efforts along the known drug routes.

Control measures at export points, such as air-passenger terminals, cargo terminals and foreign post offices.

Improved coordination between the various drug law enforcement agencies.

Identification and eradication of illicit cultivation and the wild growth of cannabis and the opium poppy.

Strengthening of the intelligence apparatus to improve the collection, collation, analysis and dissemination of operational intelligence.

Increased international cooperation, both in operational and long-term intelligence as well as in investigations and mutual legal assistance.

Precursor Control In India

Chemicals frequently used in the manufacture of illicit narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances are referred to as precursors. These chemicals have a large number of legitimate uses.But only a small fraction of the total production is sufficient to meet the requirements of the illicit drug industry. The UN Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, 1988 (1988 Convention for short) identifies the following 23 precursors as the chemicals which need to be controlled.

Psychotropic Substances As Per UN Convention

Acetic Anhydride

He shall within seventy-two hours send a copy thereof to his immediate official superior. Recently, The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has arrested the country’s first ‘darknet’ narcotics operative under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

Darknet refers to the hidden internet platform used for narcotics sale, exchange of pornographic content, and other illegal activities by using the secret alleys of the onion router (ToR- free and open-source software for enabling anonymous communication) to stay away from the surveillance of law enforcement agencies. It is tough to crack because of its end-to-end encryption. operators use the payment gateways of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoins and Litecoin to conceal transactions from regulatory agencies. The NCB is a part of a global ‘Operation Trance’, launched in December 2019, which is a joint intelligence-gathering action on international postal, express mail, and courier shipments containing psychotropic drugs (which can only be purchased on a doctor’s prescription) that are abused as sedatives and painkillers.

Huge Policy Change of Vaccine Administration in India??

Triggered by the highly inflaming second wave of Covid-19 virus infection spread, India has announced huge change in their policy of administering Covid 19 Vaccines by permitting individual state authorities to directly buy vaccines from various manufacturing companies and thereby cutting the free-vaccine policy. India who are the second largest population on the planet, is currently undergoing heavy spread (circa 400,000 reported infections per day with around 4,000 casualties per day) of the deadly virus and the government is forced to implement strict measures in order to control it.

Major cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Cochin, Lucknow, Ajmer, Ranchi have already declared full or partial lockdowns in order to curb the spread. The test positivity of some the areas are as high as 50%. A Local news channel from the southern city, Cochin has quoted the District administration head as “strict measures are taken for the safety and security of the people. From 3rd May 2021 onwards strict restrictions, almost equivalent to lockdown has been declared. Heavy infected areas are classified as containment zones and are under complete lock down. Some area’s situation is alarming as the test positivity is more than 50%. However, the vaccine shortage is one of the hurdles and we have urged the central government to provide more dosages. Meantime, the state government has decided to use the Russian made Sputnik also in addition to the Indian made Astra Zenecca and Covaxine.”

Meanwhile, huge campaigns were going on in the Social media against the exporting of Indian made vaccines and the Central Government decision to use other vaccines and to import more variants is to be read along with it.

What Next for Countries without vaccine production centers??

It is evident that the countries who doesn’t produce vaccine has to wait a bit more. Being the major vaccine producers in the world, India’s decision to temporarily stop the export of vaccine will definitely affect these countries including Kenya. However, it is time to think about the alternatives.

Everything you need to know about coronavirus:

What are the coronavirus symptoms?

Coronavirus infects the lungs. The two main symptoms are a fever or a dry cough, which can sometimes lead to breathing problems.

The cough to look out for is a new, continuous cough. This means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or having three or more coughing episodes in 24 hours. If you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual.

You have a fever if your temperature is above 37.8C. This can make you feel warm, cold or shivery.

A sore throat, headache and diarrhoea have also been reported and a loss of smell and taste may also be a symptom.

It takes five days on average to start showing the symptoms, but some people will get them much later. The World Health Organization (WHO) says the incubation period lasts up to 14 days.

On 18 April, the US's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its list of symptoms to look out for, to include:

Chills

Repeated shaking with chills

Muscle pain

Headache

Sore throat

New loss of taste or smell

Previously it only detailed a fever, cough and shortness of breath.

When do people need to go to hospital?

The majority of people with coronavirus will recover after rest and pain relief (such as paracetamol).

The main reason people need hospital treatment is difficulty breathing.

Doctors may scan the lungs to see how badly they are affected and give support, such as oxygen or ventilation, if needed.

However, people should not go to A&E if they are concerned. In the UK, the NHS 111 website will guide you through what to do.

If you are so breathless that you are unable to speak more than a few words you will be told to call 999, as this is a medical emergency.

If you become so ill that you've stopped doing all of your usual daily activities then it will advise speaking to a nurse by dialling NHS 111.

How do ventilators work?

What is an intensive care unit?

Can I get tested?

What happens in intensive care?

Intensive care units (ICUs) are specialist wards for people who are very ill.

Coronavirus patients will get oxygen support, which can involve using a facemask, or a tube in the nose.

The most invasive way - for the most seriously ill patients - is ventilation where air, with increased levels of oxygen, is pushed into the lungs via a tube in the mouth, nose or through a small cut in the throat.

What should I do if I have mild symptoms?

Patients with mild symptoms should self-isolate at home for at least seven days.

People are advised not to ring NHS 111 to report their symptoms unless they are worried. They should also not go to their GP, or A&E.

Details for Scotland are to check NHS inform, then ring your GP in office hours, or 111 out-of-hours. In Wales call NHS 111, and in Northern Ireland, call your GP.

If you have come into contact with somebody who may be infected, you may be told to self-isolate.

The World Health Organization has also issued advice for the public.

How deadly is coronavirus?

The proportion dying from the disease appears low (between 1% and 2%) - but the figures are unreliable.

Coronavirus death rate: What are the chances of dying?

Thousands are being treated but may go on to die - so the death rate could be higher. But it may also be lower if lots of mild cases are unreported.

A World Health Organization (WHO) examination of data from 56,000 patients suggests:

6% become critically ill - lung failure, septic shock, organ failure and risk of death

14% develop severe symptoms - difficulty breathing and shortness of breath

80% develop mild symptoms - fever and cough and some may have pneumona .Older people, and those with pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure), are more likely to become severely ill. Men are at slightly higher risk of dying from the virus than women.

Work to develop a vaccine is under way .

What do I need to know about the coronavirus?

EASY STEPS: What can I do?

CONTAINMENT: What it means to self-isolate

UK LATEST: What's the UK's plan and what could happen next.

How do I protect myself?

The best thing is regular and thorough hand washing, preferably with soap and water. Coronavirus spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes small droplets - packed with the virus - into the air. These can be breathed in, or cause an infection if you touch a surface they have landed on, then your eyes, nose or mouth.

So, coughing and sneezing into tissues, not touching your face with unwashed hands, and avoiding close contact with infected people are important.

People will be most infectious when they have symptoms, but some may spread the virus even before they are sick.

Face masks do not provide effective protection, according to medical experts. However, the WHO is re-examining whether the public might benefit from using them.

The hair follicles move from the telogen phase to the anagen phase. QR678 is the best hair treatment in India because it produces the most natural looking and thicker hair and the results are almost permanent.

QR678 has been invented and developed at The Esthetic Clinics by Dr Debraj Shome eminent plastic and oculoplastic surgeon and Dr Rinky Kapoor a world-renowned dermatologist recognized for her work in non-invasive skin and hair care treatments.
