Police target emerging drug hotspots in Kozhikode
Kozhikode police are expanding anti-narcotics enforcement to suburban areas as drug peddlers shift operations to avoid detection. The department plans to use drone surveillance to monitor remote hotspots and improve intelligence gathering.

The report focuses on police strategy and technological implementation without editorializing on the effectiveness of the drug war.
