Excise Forces To Get Weapons Training

HYDERABAD: To strengthen action against miscreants and drug peddlers, selected members of the state task force (STF) and district task force (DTF) of the excise department’s enforcement wing will soon undergo three months of weapons training. The government decided to arm the enforcement teams after reviewing the challenges faced during raids and arrests of drug offenders. At a recent review meeting, senior officers analysed the enforcement wing’s role in tackling ganja, narcotics, and other contraband, and resolved to provide arms training to better equip staff to handle violent situations.
