Meghalaya Police Warns Owners of Drug Trafficking Penalties
The police in Meghalaya are warning people: if you knowingly let drug dealers use your house or car, you could be in big trouble.
This is because of a law called the NDPS Act.
If you know your property is being used for drugs and you allow it, you are as guilty as the drug dealers themselves.
The police want everyone to report if they think their property might be used for drugs and to be careful about who uses their property.

House and vehicle owners face prosecution for enabling drug activities.
The advisory cites Section 25 of the NDPS Act.
