According to Delhi-based medical supplier R K Arora, Agra is well-known in the pharmaceutical industry for being a center for illegal drug trafficking. Delhi, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Bihar, and even Bangladesh receive the distribution of these medications. The illegal trade is still thriving, he claimed, despite multiple arrests linked to this enterprise in the past.
The police are working closely with teams from other states to end the illegal drug trade in Agra, which is damaging the district’s reputation, according to a senior Agra police official.
The authority claims that the Agra regions of Sikandra, Itmad Ud Daulah, and Jagdishpura are home to a large number of illicit warehouses. But the bulk of trades are made in the Fawwara drug market, where buyers and traffickers get together to make agreements before picking up the drugs from the warehouses.
In an effort to eradicate these traffickers from the city, the authorities are now concentrating their efforts on them.
