Udupi Police Destroy Rs 36.29 Lakh Worth of Drugs, Strengthen Anti‑Drug Operations

Udupi police officers destroyed an estimated Rs 36.29 lakh worth of illegal drugs in a synchronized raid conducted on Tuesday, intensifying the district’s anti‑drug strategy.

The operation, carried out by the local police unit in coordination with the anti‑drug squad, followed a tip that a large stash had been stored in a residential area near Kanakana Kalli. Police officials emphasised that the destruction of the drugs represents a significant blow to the illicit network operating in the region.

The seizure is a key milestone in an ongoing anti‑drug campaign that has already recorded multiple confiscations across Udupi, laying groundwork for tougher law‑enforcement measures and public awareness programmes aimed at curbing drug use among youth. Source: Google News – Udupi.
