Summary:
De-addiction centreTaking into consideration the drug culture taking root in the State, the Excise Department has opened a de-addiction centre in Thiruvananthapuram. So much cash is pouring into the wholesale and retail sectors of the trade that the State Excise Department alone seized narcotics worth ?700 crore over the past two years. “But by the last couple of years, the State became a hub of drug abuse,” he added. Ganja, on the other hand, is pouring through the State borders at a record clip. The volume of drugs being pushed to the State is hard to fathom, even for anti-narcotic agencies..
