Port Blair, Dec 03: With the changing world the drug use is shifting towards new drugs and new markets in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
In a recent development, team of Aberdeen Police consisting of SI P.Jeevan, HC Sunil Yadav, PC Suresh and PC Vinod ,under the directions of SHO PS Aberdeen ,Inspector Sanjay Kumar ,conducted a raid on two provision stores in the city, which stocked the so-called ‘Ayurvedic Medicine’ and recovered nearly 3kgs of Bhang sold in the name of Pachakvati and Munnakavati.
This is an odourless substance, which can be consumed anywhere modestly. It has become a hit among school students in the city and sold like hotcake in many shops, it is learnt.
As such the Bhang attracts no provision of NDPS Act. Police took preventive action against the sellers to not lend the intoxicated material to children. People of the area appreciated this responsible act of Police.
