Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday called for a coordinated international campaign against narcotics trafficking and narco-terrorism, warning that the world could face irreversible consequences if countries fail to act collectively within the next decade. Speaking at the R. N. Kao Memorial Lecture 2026 organised by Research and Analysis Wing in New Delhi, Shah said global drug cartels were exploiting loopholes created by fragmented national laws and weak coordination between countries.
“If joint efforts are not initiated now, after 10 years the world will realise that it was too late to reverse the harm,” Shah said while addressing diplomats, former intelligence chiefs and senior members of India’s security establishment.
