Keralam Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala has announced the second phase of Operation Toofan to curb drug trafficking in the state. As part of the new phase, an Anti-Narcotics Investigation Team has been constituted. The team will investigate high-value drug trafficking cases with interstate and international links.
Addressing a press conference in Thiruvananthapuram, the Minister said the team began operations yesterday. He said Operation Toofan has resulted in a 20 to 30 per cent reduction in drug supply across the state. The Minister said the focus of law enforcement agencies will now shift from local distributors to the main sources of drug supply.
