Task force for 'zero tolerance of drugs', harsher punishment and fast-track courts for drug cases
“The BJP Government will institute a task force to implement a policy of “Zero Tolerance of Drugs”. The punishment against those involved in the drug trade will be increased and all cases against those involved in drug trade will be tried in special fast track courts.”
The verdict
'Zero tolerance' has no target. A three-tier Anti-Narcotics Task Force operates, and seizure figures are reported. The fast-track courts and the de-addiction centre in every district (p. 52) were not checked.
Rule applied: Not scorable: too vague to measure; counts toward the Gol Gol Index
