Law enforcement officials in Thiruvananthapuram conducted a successful raid that resulted in the confiscation of nearly 90 kilograms of cannabis, according to police sources. The operation, part of intensified narcotics enforcement activities in the Kerala capital, has led to arrests of individuals suspected of involvement in the illegal drug trade.
The seizure underscores the persistent challenges facing authorities in combating cannabis trafficking across the region. Ganja, the dried flowering tops of the cannabis plant, remains one of the most commonly trafficked contraband substances in Kerala.
Police have registered cases against the arrested individuals under applicable provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. Investigators are continuing their probe to determine the source of the contraband and identify any wider networks involved in its distribution.
This operation reflects the state police's commitment to curbing drug-related activities and maintaining public order in urban areas. Such seizures are regularly conducted as part of coordinated narcotics enforcement initiatives across Kerala's major cities.
