‘Operation Toofan’: special programmes launched in Kozhikode
Kozhikode City police have launched 'Operation Toofan', an anti-narcotics initiative focused on dismantling drug supply chains and providing rehabilitation for youth. The program emphasizes medical support and counseling over punitive measures, targeting schools to reach vulnerable populations.
Why it matters
The shift toward a rehabilitation-focused approach in drug enforcement represents a progressive strategy for addressing substance abuse in local communities.
District Police Chief (Kozhikode City) Merin Joseph launched special programmes under ‘Operation Toofan’, the State-wide anti-narcotics drive of the Kerala Police, at Loyola School here on Friday (June 5). The programme, held on the occasion of World Environment Day, was marked by the planting of a sapling by Ms. Joseph under the School Plant Against Drug Abuse (SPAD) project.
