Law Enforcement Authorities on Meow Meow
<img title="K L Prasad" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2014/dec/K-L-Prasad.jpg" alt="K L Prasad" /> K L Prasad Commissioner of Police, Navi Mumbai The number of drug abuse cases has gone up by 200 per cent this year. We have launched a drive to educate students of classes 8, 9 and 10, as well as junior and degree-college children about the drug abuse. We also assist parents in their child&rsquo;s rehabilitation. We have instructed senior police inspectors to come down heavily on those involved in peddling drugs. There will also be special checks in the buildup to the New Year.
<img title="Himanshu Roy" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2014/dec/Himanshu-Roy.jpg" alt="Himanshu Roy" /> Himanshu Roy Joint Commissioner of Police (ATS) Mephedrone is cheaply available and is extracted through artificial sources, and therefore can be produced in bulk unlike drugs like, say, opium or marijuana, whose supply is limited as their sources are natural. As Meow Meow is not introduced in the NDPS Act yet, we are unable to take stringent action. We are aware that the supply of these drugs will be high as we approach the New Year. If you are aware of any of any information on drug peddling or us, email us at ig.ats@mahapolice.gov.in.
