The Assam police have began raising awareness about the rampant peddling of drugs in the state by way of catchy and funny posts on social media. The police intensified its crackdown on the illegal drug trade just after Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took more than last month. Recently, they shared a meme on Twitter about the menace and warned drug peddlers of jail terms if they did not quit trading in illegal psychotic substances. In a Twitter post shared yesterday, the police said “if the neighborhood drug peddlers have vanished into thin air, well, that’s on us”. They added, “The inconvenience is not regretted!”
The image shared in the post is a spin to a scene from the 2006 film Vivah, starring Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao.
If the neighborhood drug peddlers have vanished into thin air, properly, that is on us.
