Major Step Against Drugs in Bihar: Formation of ‘Prohibition and State Narcotics Control Bureau’

Insaaf Times Desk

The Bihar government has taken a significant step to establish effective control over drug trafficking and illegal trade in the state. The Home Department has approved the formation of the ‘Prohibition and State Narcotics Control Bureau’ (MNSCB), aimed at strictly curbing the smuggling of dry drugs, injectable narcotics, tablets, powders, and liquor.

With the establishment of this special unit, 100 new posts have been created. ADG (Headquarters) Kundan Krishnan stated that the unit will be headed by officers of ADG or IG rank, who will conduct independent investigations of narcotics-related cases at the district level. Additionally, two SPs, 18 DSPs, 48 inspectors, 50 sub-inspectors, and other personnel will be appointed.

A state-level Prohibition and Narcotics Police Station will also be set up under this unit, tasked with investigating drug- and liquor-related cases across Bihar. The station will operate on the lines of the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) and will be granted full autonomy.

According to the STF’s operations from April to August 2025, 765.42 kg of smack, 8.5 kg of opium, 3.154 kg of heroin, 375 kg of dope, 3.5 kg of cannabis, ₹12.93 lakh in cash, 37 mobile phones, and 9 vehicles were seized. During this period, 51 smugglers were arrested.

Experts warn that the use of dry drugs and narcotics poses a serious threat to youth. Despite repeated raids and arrests by the state government, illegal drug trade has not been completely eradicated. The formation of this new bureau is expected to establish effective control over drug trafficking.

The state government believes that until effective measures are implemented against dry drugs, the vision of a drug-free society will remain incomplete. This is why the government has set up a specialized unit to tackle the issue.

The formation of the Prohibition and State Narcotics Control Bureau is a key step against drug and liquor trafficking in Bihar. It is expected to not only dismantle smuggling networks but also advance the state towards a drug-free society.
