The Parvatipuram-Manyam district is gearing up for a comprehensive battle against ganja smuggling and usage, with a bold vision to eradicate narcotics from its borders. In a recent interview with The Hindu, Superintendent of Police S. V. Madhava Reddy revealed a multi-pronged strategy to tackle this pervasive issue.
Reddy highlighted the establishment of special police teams dedicated to intercepting ganja transportation, with a network of check posts strategically positioned in key areas like Kuneru, Komarada, Elwinpeta, Battili, and Bhamini. These teams have already made significant strides, seizing approximately 2,800 kgs of ganja in recent months. The district's commitment to this cause is evident in its proactive approach, aiming to permanently curb the ganja menace.
Moreover, the police department is taking a holistic approach by addressing the root causes of drug use. They are conducting awareness camps and rallies to educate the public about the detrimental effects of drugs on health, families, and social well-being. This initiative aims to foster a community-wide understanding of the issue, encouraging collective action against drug-related activities.
With a clear goal to make the district drug-free by 2026, the Parvatipuram-Manyam police are leaving no stone unturned. Their strategy combines vigilant monitoring, community engagement, and a steadfast commitment to protecting the district's residents from the scourge of narcotics. This proactive approach promises a safer and healthier future for the region, setting an example for other districts grappling with similar challenges.
