Home Minister Amit Shah arrived in Goa today for a three‑day trip aimed at reviewing the Ministry of Home Affairs and intensifying the state's anti‑narcotics operations.
Amit Shah, India's Home Minister, touched down in Goa early this morning to commence a scheduled three‑day visit. The itinerary focuses on a comprehensive review of the Ministry of Home Affairs' ongoing programmes and a coordinated anti‑narcotics drive across the state.
During the first day, Shah is expected to meet Goa's Chief Minister and senior police officials to assess current drug‑seizure data and discuss strategies for curbing trafficking routes that use the coastal region.
The minister will also inspect a newly set up anti‑narcotics task force, reviewing its operational readiness and resource allocation. Officials have indicated that the visit will include a public awareness event aimed at educating youth about the dangers of drug abuse.
Shah's presence in Goa underscores the central government's emphasis on strengthening internal security and addressing drug‑related challenges in coastal states. The visit is slated to conclude on Friday with a briefing on actionable recommendations for both the Union and state administrations.
