  • Drug Trafficking in India: a Case for Border Security | 1
    roximity to the largest producers of heroin and hashish-the Golden Triangle IDSA Occasional Paper No. 24 Pand Golden Crescent (Afghanistan-Pakistan-Iran) -has made India's border vulnerable to drug trafficking. Indigenous production of low grade heroin as well as various psychotropic and prescription drugs and their growing demand in the neighbouring countries and international market have added a new dimension to the problem of drug trafficking. Trends and patterns of drug trafficking in the country demonstrate that there is a gradual shift from traditional/natural drugs towards synthetic drugs that are being trafficked. Trafficking of drugs takes place overwhelmingly through land borders followed by sea and air routes. Given the vulnerability of the borders to drug trafficking, India has tried to tackle the problem through the strategy of drug supply and demand reduction, which involves enacting laws, co-operating with voluntary organisations, securing its borders and coasts by increasing surveillance, as well as seeking the active cooperation of its neighbours and the international community. Drug Trafficking Dr Pushpita Das is a Associate Fellow at the IDSA. She holds a Ph.D degree from the Jawahar Lal Nehru University. Her areas of interest in IDSA include Border Management, Coastal Security and the Northeast. in India: A Case for Border Security Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses Pushpita Das No.1, Development Enclave, Rao Tula Ram Marg, Delhi Cantt., New Delhi - 110 010 Tel.: (91-11) 2671-7983 Fax: (91-11) 2615 4191 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://www.idsa.in Drug Trafficking in India: A Case for Border Security | 1 IDSA Occasional Paper No.
