Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala has said the anti-narcotics drive, Operation Toofan, will be intensified during the Onam festive season and warned drug peddlers against indulging in illegal activities.
Operation Toofan’s Second Wave Planned Post-Onam
Chennithala announced that the second phase of Operation Toofan will commence after the Onam festival, promising a response with tenfold intensity. In a recent social media video, he highlighted the operation’s significant success, attributing its achievements to the collaboration between the public and law enforcement.
“If the public was once afraid of the drug mafia, today the drug mafia is afraid of the public. “Operation Toofan is rushing towards a massive victory. I extend my heartfelt greetings to the people and police personnel leading this effort. “Whether it is someone from my party or another party, coming with excuses like ‘he is my nephew’ or ‘she is my niece, please save them’ will be of no use when it comes to Operation Toofan.
Look at the tremendous change Kerala has witnessed over the past 74 days and nights-just imagine the transformation that can happen in a year,” he said.
Operation Toofan stands as the greatest example that if the police and the public stand together, no drug mafia can survive on this land,” he said. He said the courage shown by the public in passing secret information to the police had been the primary reason behind the success of the drive. I remind you that offenders will end up in jail and face severe consequences,” he said. He said major hospitals across Kerala were prepared to provide “Toofan Care” to those willing to come out of drug addiction, while the Indian Medical Association was preparing a dedicated rehabilitation protocol for the programme.
