Challenges of Narco-Terrorism in India’s Security

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink India019 mins

Colonel B. S. Nagial (Retd.) Narcotic trafficking, which started as an organised cross-border crime, has become a severe security threat for many countries worldwide due to its illicit relations with Terrorist organisations. The Golden Crescent is a major producer of opium. Opium farming in Afghanistan augmented by 32% over the previous year to 233,000 hectares, thus rendering the 2022 crop the third largest area under the ambit of opium farming since monitoring began. Opium prices have increased, resulting in the announcement of the cultivation ban in April 2022. Pakistan is the transport hub, with drug networks operating from the country using its drug routes to reach international markets. It is a serious threat to India because these drugs are the primary source for funding Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in this country. India is the only legitimate supplier of opium to the international pharmaceutical industry. The Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier’s economy depends on the production of poppy and cannabis. The drug money is being floated unorganised but systematically into the Indian money market, thereby detrimental to financial institutions. Consequently, the illicit drug trafficking from Afghanistan and Pakistan threatens India’s polity and economy. This demands serious consideration from policymakers and law enforcement agencies before it gets too late for action. Narco-terrorism denotes the connexion between narcotics and terrorism. As the roots of terrorism in India are generally beyond its borders, therefore it is imperative to look into the growing illicit narcotics trade in Pakistan, which funds terrorist activities conducted in India. Afghanistan and the NWFP of Pakistan are the principal manufacturers of opium worldwide, which encompasses enormous sums of money in the worldwide market. The Pakistani government and non-government organisations utilise the drug earnings to strike at the very foundations of India. Funding terrorism is a costly affair. Money required for terrorist activities does not come through legal sources. It is channelised through illegal and unofficial means. Narcotic drugs are more expensive than other consumer products in the world market. It realises colossal amounts of money, and that too in hard cash. The term narco-terrorism was first referred to in the US when drug contrabandists in Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Nicaragua and other Central American countries controlled the illegal trade as a profession and ran a corresponding government. The organised crime network’s linkages with terrorism threaten India’s National Security because India’s proximity to the Golden Triangle makes her susceptible to the operation of narcotics and drug production. Recently, it has been observed that those who promote terrorism in India from across the border are using the proceeds of such drug sales to finance terror activities. Drones are being used for drug trafficking from across the border. Punjab has become a significant problem; many drugs enter the Attari border. The money generated through them finds its way into Kashmir for funding terrorism. There have been many seizures off the coast of Gujarat, and several arms and drug consignments have been seized in the island territory of Lakshwadeep. There seems to be an emerging nexus between the Afghanistan-Pakistan. The seriousness of this problem is so severe that it affects the maritime environment and threatens India’s coastal security and drug abuse, a social problem that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed in his Mann ki Baat. A large number of the youth in India are into drug abuse. AIIMS, Delhi had, conducted a detailed survey in 2019 concerning drug abuse in the country. The study’s results revealed the extent of the problem in India, where 31 million users of cannabis, 23 million users of opioids and 11.9 million users of pharmaceutical sedatives are addicts. 2.06% of the population is affected, the average of which is far greater than in Asia and the world. It has adversely affected the State of Punjab, J&K and the Northeast Region of India. It is a lucrative trade for drug traffickers but a death knell for society. An addict requires a 0.5-milligram dose per day, that is, 360 metric tons of opioids per year, for all the addicts in India, which is one metric ton per day. They cost 2-3 crores per kilogram, which is Rs. 1,45,000 crore of business annually. Against which the seizure was only 2.4 metric tons of heroin in 2019 which is hardly 7% of the whole. After the NCB and state police forces were sensitised to the results of this survey, seizures went up to 7.1 metric tons in 2021, which is 19.7%. It is only the tip of the iceberg, and much work towards enforcement is required urgently. Drug trafficking is a borderless crime, and its extent makes it very difficult to control. There is also a new trend of using drones to drop off drugs across borders. The drug lords of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran work together to push heroin through the Arabian Sea. Acetic Anhydride manufactured in India is shipped illegally to Pakistan and Iran and used to make heroin. After the abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir and the subsequent strengthening of security along the border, it became tough for the drug traffickers in the northwest to smuggle drugs across the border, so they shifted to the maritime route. For the last four years, the NCB has worked closely with the Indian Navy and Coast Guard, whose coordination with the Coast Guards of Sri Lanka and Maldives resulted in many seizures at sea. The Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) supports the drug lords in Pakistan, and the money generated through their activities is being used to fund terrorist activities in India. The Haji Saleem network uses terrorists in India to carry out their activities. Eight Indian assets of their network have been identified in a Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) investigation whose links go back to the ISI and other contacts in Sri Lanka and Australia. The Kasargod network is another example worth mentioning. It is a vast network with contacts in Sri Lanka, Gulf and Pakistan. They traditionally produced Ganja and sold it in the rest of India and Sri Lanka. Gradually they moved into operating with…

INDIA RISK SURVEY Report 2022

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink India037 mins

FICCI and Pinkerton publish the India Risk Survey (IRS) report to identify possible business risks and difficulties prevailing in the Indian business landscape. The survey identifies 12 key areas of concern for businesses and 5 emerging risks that might seriously damage India’s business ecosystem. The results are derived from a survey that involved stakeholders and business executives from various industries. The India Risk Survey Report is frequently seen as a significant predictor of the risks that Indian firms must deal with. Businesses use the report to evaluate their risk exposure and decide how to operate in India. In addition, the media and decision-makers frequently use the survey’s conclusions as proof of the difficulties experienced by Indian entrepreneurs. The India Risk Survey Report gives valuable information about the risks that firms face, like Natural Hazards, Information & Cyber Insecurity, Intellectual Property Theft, Fire, and Crimes, and enables them to make defensible choices regarding their operations. Surpassing the risk of Natural Hazards and pandemics, the risk focus has drastically shifted to Intellectual Property Theft and Information & Cyber Insecurity due to the increasing interconnectivity of businesses’ reliance on technology, and the vast amounts of data that are now stored electronically. Offices have been replaced by hybrid working arrangements, and growing digitization has accelerated the threat. Cases of industrial accidents along with road accidents have been rising as they occur suddenly and without warning, often causing extensive damage to property and equipment. They can also lead to injuries or even fatalities, leading to both reputational and revenue damage for the business. While business espionage is not a new phenomenon, but it has become more prevalent in recent years as the world of business has become more globalized. Companies are now operating on a much larger playing field and there is more at stake. The goal of this survey is to identify potential risks in the context of a changing global environment, allowing business leaders to assess their circumspection for disruptive events like rapid digitalization, accidents, and business espionage, in the future and to ameliorate risk mitigation techniques. Nonetheless, based on each industry’s risk appetite and current risk mitigation plans, the risks identified and their effects may differ from one to the next. The survey’s outcome should help organizations create a 360-degree risk management strategy that will allow them to foresee and prepare for any eventuality, limit interruption, and protect against any risks in advance. Rohit Karnatak Vice President – India APAC & EMEA Global Screening, Pinkerton The India Risk Survey has successfully reached its 10th year milestone, and I feel very proud to say that this survey report has helped many organizations (both private and public sector) in identifying, safeguarding themselves from the potential or prevailing risks in this dynamic business environment and also helps them to create a strategy for their risk governance.Over the years as we introduced the Pinkerton Risk Wheel which has now matured to a more comprehensive risk governance. Risk governance involves how effectively organizations are managing risks by establishing policies, procedures, and frameworks so that the business operates in a responsible and sustainable manner. Effective risk governance is when it is implemented at the planning and strategic level of the decision-making process in an organization. To make it more effective, one should engage with subject matter experts or consulting firms who have expertise in the risk advisory domain. This year’s risk survey has outlined the top 3 risks which are Intellectual Property Theft, Information & Cyber Insecurity, and Accidents ranked in that order. The industry leaders ranked Intellectual Property (IP) Theft as the risk which is the most prevalent threat to their business. Until 2019, IP Theft was not a part of the top 5 risks, but from 2021 it started to emerge among the top 3 risks and finally making to the number one risk this year. When we delved deeper, we could understand that the Indian businesses are understanding the processes, innovations and techniques too are valuable to a business and thus needs to be adequately protected. In the initial years of the report, most businesses only identified counterfeiting of products or violation of trademarks as an IP risk. The manufacturing of a product or the process of a service both are like soft power and need protection as much as the counterfeit product/service that may have been introduced in the market. Pinkerton globally have been focusing on this risk and have been helping organizations make strategies to protect these Intellectual Properties via with the help of Pinkerton’s Global Investigation Services with a dedicated service line of Intellectual Property Protection Service. India Risk Survey 2022 also highlights the top 5 emerging risks which have been prevailing in this past year of 2022 and posed a threat to businesses. The most prevalent emerging risk was the ‘Safety and Security of Key Personnel,’ This risk has emerged at the top because of the threats present for the C-Suites and Directors both internally as well as externally of their business premises. The need for a safe work environment along with the safety & security required during the executive’s business travels has increased manifolds in recent times and therefore, organizations are opting for Executive Protection Services to protect their key personnel from these threats. If an organization keeps risk governance at the center when planning their risk strategies and looks beyond the realm of just compliance, it will help the organization to have an effective, comprehensive risk mitigation covering all four quadrants of risk. We hope that the report will add value to your organization’s risk governance strategy. SUMMARY Each year, the India Risk Survey (IRS) gathers 12 risks that, in the opinion of business enterprises and subject-matter experts, represent the most significant threats that might disrupt Indian business operations. To comprehend and evaluate each risk independently and to conduct analysis, the survey employs the Pinkerton Risk Wheel structure. The Pinkerton Risk Wheel has four different risk categories. Based on the type of threats, the risks are classified. Each…
