Udupi Police Destroy Drugs Worth Rs 36.29 Lakh, Amp Anti-Drug Drive

Police in Udupi town have destroyed a cache of illicit drugs worth Rs 36.29 lakh, following a covert operation that dismantled a major trafficking ring operating in the district.

The operation, conducted by the local police in coordination with intelligence units, uncovered a large quantity of cocaine and heroin concealed in a residential property on the outskirts of Udupi. The destruction of the drugs is a decisive blow to the syndicate and is part of a sustained anti‑drug drive across Karnataka, which has seen an uptick in seizures in recent months.

The seizure disrupts the supply chain to local users and is expected to deter future narcotics trafficking. It also underscores the authorities’ commitment to ensuring public safety and health in the district. Source: Google News – Udupi.
