In Tirupattur, authorities destroyed more than 3,100 kilograms of gutkha products seized primarily in the district's tribal regions. Superintendent of Police Akshay Anil Wakhare mandated the destruction of the contraband, as part of ongoing efforts to combat smuggling and consumption of the tobacco products. The illegal tobacco was eliminated at an open site in Kottapattu village, adjacent to Vaniyambadi town, after obtaining the required court permissions.
The seized items had been collected through various enforcement actions and during vehicle inspections at police stations across Tirupattur, Yelagiri Hills, Pudur Nadu, Kandali, Amballur, Kavalur, Vaniyambadi, and Jolarpet. The disposal complied with all legal and environmental regulations.
