Under the leadership of Modi ji and the guidance of Amit Shah and the multi-pronged efforts made by the Home Ministry to curb the illicit drug trade, the quantity of narcotics seized increased by almost 100% and the cases registered against those dealing in it increased by 152%.

The arrests increased by 4 times from 1363 in the 2006-13 period to 5745 in the 2014-23 period.
