Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel have seized 32 kilograms of ganja during an inspection at Jolarpet railway station, a key transit point in Tamil Nadu's transportation network. The seizure reflects intensified vigilance by rail authorities in combating the smuggling of narcotic substances through the country's extensive railway system.
The cannabis was discovered during a routine security operation at the station, which handles considerable passenger and freight traffic on the southern rail network. Officers conducted a thorough inspection of suspicious packages, leading to the confiscation of the contraband material.
The RPF has stepped up anti-narcotics operations across railway stations and trains in recent months, as part of a broader initiative to disrupt drug trafficking networks operating through rail corridors. These operations have proven effective in intercepting controlled substances destined for various markets across South India.
Details regarding the circumstances of the seizure, including whether any arrests were made in connection with the contraband discovery, remain under investigation. The RPF has referred the matter to relevant law enforcement agencies for further action.
