Operation Toofan will continue until drug networks are dismantled: Chennithala

Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala on Saturday said the State government would pursue its anti-drug campaign, ‘Operation Toofan’, with determination until narcotics networks were completely dismantled. He was inaugurating ‘Carmel Unites for Operation Toofan’, a year-long anti-drug campaign at Carmel Higher Secondary School, Chalakudy. He also launched ‘Carmel Warriors’, a student-led anti-drug short film initiative.

Describing Operation Toofan as one of the government’s flagship initiatives, Mr. Chennithala said the campaign was a “war against the merchants of death” who were attempting to lure the younger generation into drug addiction. At a time when drug cartels were trying to expand their reach globally, the government was committed to protecting Kerala’s youth from the menace, he said.
