Police urge citizens to use new anti-narcotics helpline
Jaipur: Rajasthan Police has urge citizens to actively use the Union govt's newly launched anti-narcotics helpline, MANAS-1933, aimed at curbing
drug trafficking
and supporting rehabilitation of those affected by drug addiction.
The 24x7 helpline allows the public to confidentially share information related to narcotics smuggling, as well as seek counselling and guidance for individuals battling substance abuse. The initiative is part of the Union govt's "Zero Tolerance" policy towards drugs and is linked with anti-narcotics task forces (ANTFs) across India.
According to officials, the helpline is a key component of the govt's broader vision of achieving a drug-free India by 2047.
The identity of informants will be kept strictly confidential, ensuring both security and trust, they said.
The directive for state-level implementation and mass awareness of the helpline comes from Mahendra Kumar Khinchi, joint secretary of the home department. All departments have been instructed to ensure widespread promotion of MANAS-1933, with efforts extending down to schools, colleges, and village councils.

To support this awareness drive, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has launched an official awareness portal — — offering posters, brochures, videos, and other materials that can be downloaded and shared with the public.
Departments have also been asked to regularly report on the promotional activities undertaken. The govt hopes MANAS-1933 will not only help dismantle trafficking networks but also aid in the social reintegration of drug-affected individuals.
