Battling drug abuse: On Kerala’s Operation Toofan
Kerala has launched Operation Toofan to combat rising drug abuse among its youth, which has escalated due to the influence of synthetic drug cartels leveraging digital technologies. The initiative aims to dismantle these cartels and address the addiction crisis that has worsened since the state's liquor ban a decade ago. Authorities are focusing on coordinated action to enhance law enforcement's effectiveness against this growing threat.
