Mizoram mulls anti-drug law

The Mizoram government today decided to enact a law to combat the rampant drug abuse along with intensifying execution of the existing anit-drug acts in the State.
The decision was taken in the consultation meeting on control of drugs which was presided over by the Chief Minister, Mr Lal Thanhawla, an official release said.
It was suggested at the meeting that the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and the Assam Drug Control Act (adopted by Mizoram) should be enforced with State amendments and the draft Mizoram Drug Control Bill be made more stringent.
