India: 25 foreigners blacklisted,3 deported in June
Goa Herald
Wednesday 12 Jul 2006 Twenty-five foreign nationals have been “blacklisted” by Ministry of Home Affairs, while three foreign nationals residing at Anjuna – Yemeni, German and British – were deported in the month of June for overstaying, said Director General of Police (DGP) Neeraj Kumar on Tuesday. Kumar disclosed that the 25 of those blacklisted mostly comprise Russians and Israelis involved in the drug trade. One of them is Israeli national Agai, who, the DGP alleged was involved in drug peddling, had recently approached the Indian Embassy in Israel for a visa which was turned down. We are not only in the process of deporting, but also blacklisting those not wanted in the State, he observed. Blacklisting will help us in restricting many of the drug traffickers entering the State and the country, he added. Kumar informed that a sniffer dog, a Labrador, meant for the Anti-Narcotic Cell has been trained at the BSF Academy in Tekanpur. The same will be used by the ANC at the airport when the season begins. We’ve got sanction for another four pups which will be trained for different sections of the police, he said. The DGP said the airport will have daily presence of ANC personnel during the season time. “We have information that Goa has become one of the transit points for soft drugs like cannabis and hashish. These mostly find way to European countries through charter flights taking off from the State,” he stated. http://oheraldo.in/node/16319
