TS Police given drug test kits ahead of New Year’s Eve

The Telangana State Anti Narcotics Bureau (TSNAB) has provided drug test kits to the police across the State in order to keep a check on drug abuse during the New Year celebrations.
The Commissionerates of Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Rachakonda have received these drug-test kits. Those involved in the abuse of drugs would be caught and sent to de-addiction programmes. TSNAB director Sandeep Shandilya said, “A device called Dräeger Drugcheck 3000 has been procured which can find out if a person has consumed drugs with a sample of their saliva in minutes.”
Cocaine, cannabis, opiates, amphetamines, methamphetamines and ketamine are among the substance classes that the Dräeger gadget can detect. A test cassette is used for analysis and a sanitary sample collection is used to collect saliva samples. In addition to the buffer liquid, the test cassette has a window that shows the control and test lines and two test strips. There are three simple procedures to taking the drug test itself.
Thermostatic Hand-held Narcotics Analyser is an additional device that may detect drug residue from nearby objects. This portable drug detector uses lab-proven Raman spectroscopy to identify stimulants, depressants, analgesics and hallucinogens with ease.
