NTR Collector launches ‘Operation Trishul’ to combat drug usage, crimes against women and road accidents
Launching the programme, G. Lakshmisha says officials of the Medical and Health, Police, Women Development and Child Welfare and other departments will take measures to check crimes under Operation Trishul
The National Centre for Coordination of Drug Law Enforcement (NCORD) meeting held in Paderu reviewed the "Trishul" strategy aimed at reducing drug abuse, combating crimes against women, and minimizing road accidents in the district. District Collector T. Nishanthi chaired the meeting and directed officials to enhance coordinated efforts against these issues.
District Superintendent of Police Amit Bardar discussed the "Chaitanyam" program, where villages resolve to stop ganja cultivation, which neighboring high-risk areas have adopted. Police operations reached 147 villages, counseling 82 former offenders and establishing a ten-member special task force. Under the PIT-NDPS Act, 15 detention orders were issued to 32 individuals, and 586 suspect sheets were initiated.
A drone and manual survey at 92 locations in five mandals found no new ganja cultivation. The meeting also examined the "Sankalpam" awareness program in schools and colleges, the monitoring of online harassment against women, the identification of accident-prone areas, and the implementation of PM RAHAT for road accident victims' cashless treatment.
