ASR Collector reviews ‘Trishul’ strategy against crime in district

ASR District Collector T. Nishanthi on Monday directed officials to strengthen coordinated action against drug abuse, ganja cultivation, crimes against women and road accidents, at a district-level National Centre for Coordination of Drug Law Enforcement (NCORD) meeting held at the Collectorate in Paderu.

The meeting, chaired by Ms. Nishanthi, reviewed the State government’s “Trishul” strategy, built around three objectives – zero drugs, zero tolerance towards atrocities against women, and zero road accidents.

District Superintendent of Police Amit Bardar said the “Chaitanyam” programme, under which villages adopt resolutions against ganja cultivation, was being emulated by neighbouring ganja-prone areas.
