IFP Editorial: Thanks to Amit Shah for reminding the top guys here that arrests or seizure is not the endgame and one needs to go further if we are really serious about eradicating or uprooting the drug menace from Manipur or Northeast or from India.
IFP Editorial: What we must also understand is that not all who are caught red-handed with drugs are the real owners of the seized drugs, but mostly couriers or mules in the modern parlance.
