Police in Udupi destroy drugs worth Rs 36.29 lakh, intensify anti‑drug drive

The Udupi district police have confiscated and destroyed drugs worth Rs 36.29 lakh during a raid conducted at a secure location earlier this week.

The operation, carried out by the local crime branch, is part of a broader anti‑drug campaign launched by the Karnataka state police to curb the rising demand for narcotics among the district’s youth.

By eliminating a sizeable stockpile of illegal drugs, the police aim to reduce supply and deter smuggling networks. The district superintendent of police stated that anti‑drug drives will be intensified across the region to protect vulnerable communities. Source: Google News – Udupi.
