Three anti-narcotics police stations allotted to Coimbatore
Coimbatore has been allotted three new Anti-Narcotics Task Force police stations to combat drug trafficking in the region. Each station will be staffed by 25 personnel to increase enforcement efforts across city and district divisions.
Why it matters
The expansion of specialized anti-narcotics units reflects a regional policy shift toward more aggressive drug enforcement.
The Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) has been allotted three dedicated police stations in Coimbatore — two within the city and one for the district — to intensify action against the sale and use of narcotics.
Each station has been sanctioned 25 personnel, including an Inspector and four Sub-Inspectors, taking the total strength of the three stations to 75.
The unit for the north division of the Coimbatore city police will function from the Rathinapuri police station premises, while the south division unit will operate from the premises next to the Ramanathapuram police station.
The district ANTF station has been allotted space at the Perur All-Women Police Station premises in Podanur.
