The minister suspected that some policemen were allegedly protecting the drugs trade.
"I suspect that there are some police officers who are involved in protecting the drugs trade. Without their support it can't sustain for so long.
"Now Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has taken up the issue very seriously," Ajgaonkar told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.
He said the Anti Narcotics Cell (ANC) chief Karthik Kashyap has begun a crackdown on the drug trade in the State.
The minister said that the tourism department staff deployed on beaches have been asked to inform police about any suspicious narcotic activity.
"If police don't act I have asked my staff to inform me. I will take up the issue with the chief minister," he said.
