After the monumental drug bust in November 2024, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Court authorized the pre-trial disposal of the seized methamphetamine. The court’s decision allowed the safe destruction of the drugs to ensure they did not re-enter the illicit market. This move reflects the region’s commitment to quick legal action and deterrence against future drug-related offenses.
The swift legal proceedings were seen as an important step in upholding the rule of law and reinforcing the state’s dedication to the fight against drug smuggling. By preventing the drugs from circulating, authorities also aimed to send a clear message to potential criminals about the seriousness of drug trafficking in the region.
