Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Tuesday said the kingpin of drugs trade in the state was yet to be traced, but the police's anti-narcotics cell was making all efforts to nab him.

The investigation into the drug peddling in the state was based on the information provided by those arrested so far, Sawant said in the state Assembly.

He was responding to a question tabled in the House by Leader of the Opposition Digambar Kamat, who said that an increasing number of Goans were being arrested for drug peddling in the coastal state.

In response, Sawant said, "We are yet to identify the main supplier of drugs, but are trying to find him. The anti- narcotics cell is investigating the matter."
