India's Ministry of Home Affairs is set to deport nearly 16,000 foreign nationals detained for alleged involvement in drug trafficking, marking one of the biggest narcotics crackdowns in recent times. The massive action is based on a comprehensive report submitted by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). The foreign nationals face accusations ranging from drug smuggling to transportation and are currently held in detention facilities across multiple states throughout India. The complete list of individuals has been shared with the MHA and other concerned agencies for processing. Officials confirmed that deportations will be executed under provisions of India's new immigration law. This unprecedented operation represents a significant escalation in India's fight against international drug trafficking networks operating within the country.
