Guwahati: The BRICS summit in New Delhi has formally recognized the Guwahati Declaration. This move gives global weight to Assam's anti-narcotics agenda. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma says the international backing helps the state tackle drug trafficking networks. The declaration was created by the heads of anti-drug agencies from all BRICS nations.
Assam sits on a key narcotics corridor in Northeast India. The state needs better enforcement and intelligence sharing to stop the trade. Sarma believes stronger cooperation among BRICS members will disrupt cartels and protect the youth. He views the global nod as a major win for local authorities.
The Chief Minister noted the state's work now influences international policy. "From our position in Northeast India, we are strengthening our role in building a safer and more secure region," Sarma said. This recognition reinforces the resolve of his government to build a secure state. It marks a proud moment for Guwahati as it takes its local fight onto the world stage.
