In one of the districts of a frontier state, narcotics menace has been rampant. This has resulted in money laundering, mushrooming of poppy farming, arms smuggling and near stalling of education. The system is on the verge of collapse. The situation has been further worsened by unconfirmed reports that local politicians as well as some senior police officers are providing surreptitious patronage to the drug mafia. At that point of time a woman police officer, known for her skills in handling such situations is appointed as Superintendent of Police to bring the situation to normalcy. If you are the same police officer, identify the various dimensions of the crisis. Based on your understanding, suggest measures to deal with the crisis.

एक सीमांत राज्य के एक जिले में स्वापकों (नशीले पदार्थों) का खतरा अनियंत्रित हो गया है। इसके परिणामस्वरूप काले धन का प्रचलन, पोस्त की खेती में वृद्धि, हथियारों की तस्करी, व्यापक हो गई है तथा शिक्षा व्यवस्था लगभग ठप्प हो गई है। सम्पूर्ण व्यवस्था एक प्रकार से समाप्ति के कगार पर है। इन अपुष्ट खबरों से कि स्थानीय राजनेता और कुछ पुलिस उच्चाधिकारी भी ड्रग माफिया को गुप्त संरक्षण दे रहे हैं, स्थिति और भी बदतर हो गई है। ऐसे समय में, परिस्थिति को सामान्य करने के लिए, एक महिला पुलिस अधिकारी, जो ऐसी परिस्थितियों से निपटने के लिए अपने कौशल के लिए जानी जाती है, को पुलिस अधीक्षक के पद पर नियुक्त किया जाता है। यदि आप वही पुलिस अधिकारी हैं, तो संकट के विभिन्न आयामों को चिन्हित कीजिए। अपनी समझ के अनुसार, संकट का सामना करने के उपाय भी सुझाएं।
