Union Home Minister Amit Shah will launch a national toll-free helpline, 1933, named MANAS, during the seventh apex-level meeting of the Narco-Coordination Centre (NCORD) in Delhi on July 18, 2024.
MANAS stands for Madak Padarth Nisedh Asuchna Kendra or Narcotics Prohibition Intelligence Centre, aiming to enable citizens to report illegal narcotics activities and related issues.
The helpline and email service are part of efforts to enhance public participation in combating the illegal narcotics trade, with participation expected from Central and State anti-narcotics agencies, special bureaus, and police departments.
