Answer 2

Former Indian Revenue officer Jagjit Pavadia has been re-elected as India’s nominee to the Vienna-based International Narcotics Control Board (INCB).

The INCB is an independent, quasi-judicial body responsible for monitoring the implementation of international drug control treaties and ensuring the availability of controlled substances for medical and scientific purposes while preventing their diversion into illicit channels.

Jagjit Pavadia’s re-election reflects her extensive experience and expertise in narcotics control and international drug policy.

This position underscores India’s active participation in international efforts to combat narcotics and uphold drug regulations.
