NCB Destroys Narcotics Worth Over Rs 212 Crore in Delhi to Reinforce ‘Drug-Free India’ Mission

NEW DELHI, March 26, 2026 — The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) carried out a major disposal operation in the national capital today, destroying seized illicit drugs valued at more than Rs 212 crore.

This high-profile action involved the destruction of approximately 408 kg of narcotics linked to 39 different pre-trial and post-trial cases. By permanently removing these substances from circulation, the NCB has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to the “Nasha Mukt Bharat” (Drug-Free India) initiative and signaled a zero-tolerance policy toward the global drug trade.

This large-scale disposal underscores the NCB’s intensified efforts to dismantle trafficking networks and ensure that seized contraband never finds its way back into the illegal market.

Officials stated that the systematic destruction of these drugs is a critical component of the judicial and enforcement process, demonstrating the efficiency of the bureau in handling complex narcotics cases.

The operation was conducted under strict environmental and security protocols, highlighting the professional standards maintained by India’s premier anti-drug agency in its fight against substance abuse and organized crime.

In its continued effort to engage the public in this national mission, the NCB has urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any narcotics-related information through the MANAS Helpline (Toll-Free: 1933).

Authorities emphasized that the identities of all informers are kept strictly confidential to encourage community participation without fear of reprisal.

By combining high-impact enforcement actions with public cooperation, the NCB aims to curb the supply chain of dangerous drugs and protect the future of the nation’s youth from the or scourge of addiction.
