Mumbai Police has launched the biggest war till date against the black drug trade in the year 2025. Between January 1 and December 21, 2025, the police have broken the back of smugglers by seizing drugs worth more than Rs 814 crore 17 lakh. A total of 7,372 cases were registered and 6,628 accused were arrested during this operation.

DCP Navnath Dhawale of Anti Narcotics Cell of Mumbai Police spoke to ABP News and said that to ensure that drugs are not used in the party on 31st December this year, a special team is being formed which will work on the basis of every input and will take care that drugs are not consumed.

Raid in 6 factories

The promptness of the police can be gauged from the fact that this year, along with smuggling, drug manufacturing units have also been directly attacked. Police raided 6 factories manufacturing narcotics and seized goods worth about Rs 597 crore from there.

used these codewords

To avoid getting caught in the world of drugs, smugglers are now using strange code words. Heroin is now being called ‘Potla’ among smugglers, while the most sought after MD (Mephedrone) is called by names like ‘Chachi’, ‘Madhuri’, ‘Pills’ and ‘Bakra’.

By decoding these code words, the police have seized more than 275 kg of MD this year. Also, giving a strong message against drug addiction, the police has completely destroyed the old stock (2,560 kg drugs and 40,221 codeine bottles) worth Rs 136 crore.

MCOCA imposed on two big gangs

Mumbai Police has also set new records on the legal action front. Action has been taken against two big drug gangs involved in organized crime under the amended MCOCA (MCOC) Act, which is considered to be the first such historic action in Maharashtra. Apart from this, two vicious criminals have been detained in jail for one year under the PIT NDPS Act.

The scope of police investigation was not limited to the country only, four big international smugglers Salim Suhail Sheikh, Tahir Dola, Mustafa Mohammad Kubawala and Salman Sheikh alias Shera (Batlawala), who were running drug factories in India from abroad, were extradited to Mumbai and arrested.

This year’s total seizure includes 10.949 kg cocaine (₹84.40 crore), 1340 kg ganja (₹44.69 crore) and 3.712 kg heroin (₹11.51 crore). Apart from this, the campaign against people addicted to drugs also continued, under which 5,242 people were arrested in 6,276 cases of consumption. These all-round actions of Mumbai Police have not only stopped the supply at the local level, but have also exposed the masterminds sitting at the international level.

Mahayuti achieved a spectacular victory in the Maharashtra municipal elections. The opposition parties had to face a crushing defeat in this election. BJP emerged as the largest party in the Municipal Council and Nagar Panchayat elections. Now BJP leader Ram Kadam has made a big claim explaining the reason for the opposition’s defeat.

BJP MLA Ram Kadam said that the opposition was repeatedly making excuses instead of paying attention to the election campaign. He said, “The opposition talked about postponing the elections, alleged vote theft, raised issues related to EVMs and voter lists and made many other excuses. These issues were raised only when they lost. The opposition hardly came out on the streets during the campaign. There were no rallies or contact with people at the grassroots level.”

‘Mahayuti had entered the elections with confidence’

He said that the Mahayuti alliance had entered the electoral battle with confidence and the mindset of victory. The result of this came out as a resounding victory. Ram Kadam also said that the success of BJP and its allies was attributed to the leadership of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the development work done in the entire state in the last few years. He said that the performance of the government in power laid a strong foundation for success, first in the assembly elections and now in the local body elections.

‘Success came from the work done in Maharashtra’

MLA Ram Kadam further said, “The work done in Maharashtra in the last few years under the leadership of Chief Minister Fadnavis led to tremendous success in the assembly elections. Due to these efforts and achievements, we gave excellent results in the assembly and from the very first day we carried the spirit of victory on our heads.”

‘People are getting benefits from government schemes’

Emphasizing on the government’s development agenda, the BJP MLA said that infrastructure projects and welfare schemes have benefited all sections of people, especially farmers. Roads are being built and farmers are getting benefits on a large scale. On the other hand, the opposition had entered the elections with the intention of losing from the very first day.

‘CM-Deputy CM were on the streets for campaigning’

MLA Ram Kadam said that the BJP leadership and alliance partners actively contacted voters. He said, “Our Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister were constantly on the ground, campaigning and holding big rallies. With courage, determination and hard work of our workers, we entered the election field with confidence. That is why we won and the opposition had to face defeat.”

The political temperature in Maharashtra has become high regarding the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections (BMC Election) and all the political parties have started preparations to make their place. There has also been news of the Thackeray brothers coming together before the BMC elections. It is believed that Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray are going to contest the elections together with each other this time. However, Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) ally Congress had clearly opposed it.

In such a situation, the question now arises whether Raj Thackeray will be allowed to contest elections by joining Mahavikas Aghadi? However, now it has been clearly stated by the Congress that the Congress will contest the Municipal Corporation elections on its own. This means that the opposition coalition party MVA will break.

Vijay Wadettiwar’s claim – Congress will contest elections alone

This has been announced by senior Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar. Vijay Wadettiwar said that the world’s largest municipal corporation is Mumbai. Our Mumbai Municipal Corporation leaders have decided that we will fight independently. Therefore, the question does not arise as to how many seats have to be left for whom. Wadettiwar has been clearly told that this decision has been taken at the local level after discussion with the Congress high command.

The Election Commission on Monday (October 27) has announced the second phase of Special Summary Revision (SIR) in the country. In the second phase, 12 states of the country will be covered under SIR. Although Maharashtra has not been included in these states, civic elections are to be held in Maharashtra in the coming days.

According to the Election Commission, under the second phase, SIRs are proposed in Andaman and Nicobar besides West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Puducherry, Madhya Pradesh, Lakshadweep, Kerala, Gujarat, Goa, Chhattisgarh. The announcement of SIR in these 12 states was made by Chief Election Commissioner of India (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar in a press conference on Monday. He also made it clear that the voter lists of these states will be frozen on Monday night.

Questions are arising for this

Actually, questions are being raised regarding Maharashtra because earlier it was believed that SIR could be conducted in Maharashtra also before the BMC elections. However, it was said by the State Election Commission and political parties that at present SIR should not be conducted in Maharashtra.

Emphasis given on the need for SIR

During the press conference, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar stressed on the need to conduct SIR and said that the last time SIR was conducted between 2000 and 2004, hence after almost two decades, special intensive revision is necessary to remove inaccuracies in the voter list.

‘SIR will be done in a phased manner’

He said, “Revision of electoral rolls is necessary before every election. In the last few years, many political parties have objected to the voter list not being completely pure. Before this, the last time SIR took place between 2000 and 2004. After such a long time, SIR becomes even more important. The Election Commission decided that SIR will be conducted in the entire country in a phased manner, starting from Bihar.”

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale targeted Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Sunday (21 September). He said that he has proved to be completely failed as Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. Ramdas Athawale also strongly criticized Rahul Gandhi’s recent press conference. He said that Rahul Gandhi’s statements are factless and meaningless, which is only an attempt to mislead people.

Referring to Rahul Gandhi’s press conference, Ramdas Athawale said, “Rahul Gandhi has no concrete evidence and is misleading people by spreading lies only. Advising Rahul Gandhi, Athawale said that if he really has evidence, he should go directly to court or file a complaint with the Election Commission (ECI).”

‘No evidence’

He said that the Election Commission has demanded evidence before, but evidence was not given. Athawale further said that Rahul Gandhi sometimes says that votes were added, sometimes removed. ECI has clarified that names cannot be removed online from the voter list.

‘He does not like PM Modi’s progress’

On the allegations of the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi, Athawale satirized that the real ‘theft’ is happening in the Congress organization, where their workers are joining the BJP. He said that Rahul Gandhi does not like the progress of PM Narendra Modi. They are trying to weaken the country by making false statements like ‘Dead Economy’.

‘They have failed’

The Union Minister claimed that Rahul has proved to be a failure as the Leader of the Opposition. His statements are fruitless and factless. He said that PM Narendra Modi’s popularity is not only in the country but also abroad. Under his leadership, India is growing rapidly and the fourth is the largest economy.

‘Rahul Gandhi making baseless allegations’

Athawale said, “PM Modi has resolved to make India self -reliant and is promoting Swadeshi. We all have to fulfill the dream of developed India 2047. PM Modi is doing so much work, but Rahul Gandhi only lies by making baseless allegations.”

In Maharashtra these days politics is hot. On Tuesday (16 September), Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis targeted the Shiv Sena UBT and party chief Uddhav Thackeray while condering the Mumbai Municipal Corporation. He taunted Uddhav Thackeray while singing the song. After this, the opposition has retaliated at the CM. Sharad faction MP Supriya Sule has said that the Chief Minister should not talk like this.

In fact, at the ‘Vijay Sankalp Melava’ program on Tuesday (September 16), CM Devendra Fadnavis said that BJP was in a position to make its mayor in the last BMC elections, but we had left this post for the then Uddhav Thackeray Shiv Sena. CM Fadnavis also sang a song on ‘Bewafai’ for Uddhav Thackeray and even called him ‘Kafan Chor’.

Uddhav faction responded to the song

At the same time, Shiv Sena UBT responded by singing the Chief Minister by singing like him. Uddhav Thackeray’s party leader Anand Dubey said that we have a Brahmas missile. From the Supreme Court to the WHO, our work is also praised. He sang the song, “Dushman na kare friend has done that work, has given us a reward.

‘There was no such expectation from CM’

Along with this, Supriya Sule, senior leader of the Sharad faction of this statement of Uddhav faction, said, “The Chief Minister should not say such a thing. And if you talk about the scam, then the Chief Minister should constitute a team. The Chief Minister should think before speaking, because if the scam has happened in that period, then some ministers and leaders are now with you, then they were not expected from Devendra Fadnavis.”
