Answer 1

Answer:

B. All drug-related issues including trafficking, illegal sale, storage, manufacturing, and illicit cultivation

The MANAS platform (National Narcotics Helpline) is designed to allow citizens to report the full spectrum of illegal activities related to drugs.

Short Explanation:

Citizens can report all aspects of the illegal drug supply chain anonymously, including:

1. Trafficking/Peddling: The movement and distribution of illegal drugs.

2. Illegal Sale/Purchase/Storage/Manufacturing: Unauthorized activities in the production and trade of narcotic and psychotropic substances.

3. Illicit Cultivation: The illegal growing of plants like cannabis (marijuana), poppy, or coca plant.

Additionally, the platform serves as a resource for citizens to seek advice on de-addiction and rehabilitation for drug abuse.
