Udupi Collector Introduces QR‑Code Scan System to Combat Drugs

The Udupi District Collector unveiled a new QR‑code scanning system designed to aid in the detection and monitoring of drug activities across the district.

Authorities will use the system to scan QR‑codes on suspected drug paraphernalia or related items, automatically recording location and timestamp data that can be quickly cross‑checked against intelligence databases.

The move is expected to streamline evidence collection, reduce manual errors and allow law‑enforcement agencies to act more swiftly on drug‑related cases, thereby strengthening public safety across Udupi. Source: Google News – Udupi.
