The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is intensifying operations against foreign nationals involved in drug trafficking and illegal overstays across India. Working alongside state police and local enforcement agencies, the NCB aims to dismantle transnational smuggling networks, strengthen regional enforcement, and safeguard national security.
Officials highlighted that trafficking zones have shifted over time, with regions like Greater Noida and Ghaziabad along the Delhi-NCR border emerging as key current hotspots. Authorities emphasized that this enforcement initiative is strictly behavior-based and targets illegal activity and overstays rather than specific foreign nationalities or communities.
