Operation Toofan 2.0

Panchayat-Level Anti-Drug Public Awareness Programme

🛡️

As part of ‘Operation Toofan 2.0’, a programme jointly implemented by the Kerala Police and the Local Self-Government Department to completely prevent the spread and use of narcotic substances in the state, an anti-drug public awareness programme titled “Toofan – Local Governance – People’s Force Against Drugs” was organised at the Kadungalloor Grama Panchayat level. The programme aims to expand anti-drug activities to every ward and household by coordinating the law-enforcement system of the police with the grassroots public network of local self-government institutions, rather than limiting the initiative merely to law-enforcement measures.
