By which date has the target of a drug-free India been set, as stated by the Union Home Minister at Ahmedabad?
- A.31 December 2027
- B.31 December 2028
- C.31 December 2029
- D.31 December 2030
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 31 December 2029. Speaking after the launch of the development works, the Minister said that having set the goal of a Naxal-free India, the government has now fixed the target of a drug-free India by that date. Option B, 31 December 2028, is the date he urged for Gujarat alone: he asked the people of the state to take the responsibility of becoming drug-free a full year ahead of the national deadline, which makes these two dates easy to mix up and therefore a favourite with paper setters. Options A and D are dates that were not mentioned at all. The same speech set out the machinery behind the target: the helpline 1033 for reporting the sale or use of drugs with the informant's name kept confidential, a control room starting from 1 December able to act within three hours of information, and de-addiction centres for affected young people.
