    Swain impressed upon the officers to make a ‘master list’ of repeatedly offending vehicles and also directed for indexing of drivers and vehicles found involved in transportation of drugs.

    He stressed on the classification of victims, peddlers and dealers and impressed upon the officers to look forward and background linkages benefiting from the past experiences.
