A narcotics control amendment bill has been introduced in parliament to form a separate tribunal to speed up the trials of drug-related crimes, the formation of a dog squad, and allowing members of the Department of Narcotics Control to use firearms.
At the same time, the amended law has also proposed to create a separate jail for the department, a cybercrime control wing, a digital forensic lab and a money laundering prevention cell.
