‘Golden Triangle’ to stamp out drug trafficking

Mumbai’s Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) has come up with a ‘Golden Triangle’ on the city map to eliminate drug trafficking. The Golden Triangle of South East Asia is one of two main illicit drugproducing areas that overlaps the mountains of the four countries of Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Pakistan, Afghanistan.
To keep tabs on the opium smuggled out of these areas, international anti-drugs agencies have marked it out. Inspired by this, ANC has come up with Mumbai’s Golden Triangle, which covers Andheri, Mira Road and Dongri, the hub of the narcotics trade.

DCP Sunil Paraskar of ANC said, “Our men are working round the clock to trap the drug peddlers in these areas. We are trying to work out certain strategies, which cannot be revealed.” Over 400 police informers work in these areas.
