<h1>State urges GST Council for separate e-way bill system to track narcotic drugs under revised NDPS rules</h1> A state government has requested the GST Council to implement a separate e-way bill system for narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances to enable real-time tracking and prevent diversion from pharmaceutical companies. A committee led by a sub-divisional magistrate, including excise, police, and drug control officers, will oversee licensed entities to ensure regulatory compliance. Quantity limits on narcotic handling have been imposed to reduce illegal diversion risks. The government is revising the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Rules and updating its drug prevention policy to strengthen the legal framework. District-level committees chaired by deputy commissioners will coordinate law enforcement and conduct awareness campaigns targeting youth to enhance grassroots drug control efforts.
