India and US join hands to work on bilateral drug policy framework: Both countries will work on three pillars.
Dr. Rahul Gupta, Director, National Drug Control Policy, said, “In the last few days, we have worked on three pillars.
One is drug prevention and disrupting the network of traffickers and producers of illegal drugs and the other is working on drug demand reduction and harm-reduction.”
Dr. Gupta said, “In this, we will not only see how to help people suffering from addiction, but first of all, we will see how to stop the addiction.
According to Dr. Gupta, the third pillar is actually to ensure that there is a pharmaceutical supply chain and then the pharmaceutical industry is flourishing.
