Scanners are to be installed at all international airports in India to catch drug traffickers in the wake of increased smuggling of narcotic drugs in the country.

"These gadgets would be able to detect the drugs being smuggled by traffickers," said a senior official of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). According to the official, traffickers wrap up cocaine and other drugs and swallow these so that they can pass through security checks without being detected.

"Now, with the introduction of scanners, we would be able to crack down on this method of smuggling narcotics," the official told, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"Mumbai has become one of the biggest centres of drug trafficking since it is well connected by air and sea," he added.
