Polis Kelantan jamin lokap cukup tampung tahan penagih setiap hari

Kelantan Police Chief Yusoff Mamat has assured that the 56 state police stations' cells are sufficient to accommodate one drug offender daily, starting from July 15. "Alhamdulillah, the situation remains manageable," he stated, assuring no issues with capacity. "We have developed a strategic plan and focused on it, with the station commander arresting drug offenders in their jurisdiction, while the District Narcotics Head and the IPK Narcotics Department Manager target suppliers, including heavy traffickers," he said, according to Sinar Harian at a media briefing in Kota Bharu.

Last month, Yusoff announced a new strategy to combat drug abuse by mandating each of the 56 Kelantan police chiefs to detain one drug offender daily, beginning July 15. Despite a decline in drug-related cases in Kelantan, the strategy of arresting one drug offender daily remains necessary due to the persistent presence of drug and drug offenders in the state.

On July 30, Interior Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail was informed to continue this strategy based on the current situation in Kelantan, as almost no village in the state is unaffected by drug abuse issues.
