Fears about presence of drugs in Tamil Nadu proved right, alleges Governor Ravi

India TV News  

Governor R N Ravi on Sunday alleged that the "worst fears" of "prevalence of drugs" in Tamil Nadu have been "confirmed" by the seizure of narcotics connected to members of an international drug cartel, and the subsequent arrest of the suspected kingpin belonging to the state. In a press release Ravi said, "Recent interdictions of sizeable quantities of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances and apprehension of members of international drug cartels in Tamil Nadu and other places by central agencies have confirmed our worst fears – prevalence of drugs in our state." Ravi said the central intelligence, investigative and enforcement agencies are probing the operations of "international drug cartels with critical nodes in our state trafficking in drugs". "While the enforcement agencies of the Centre and the state will do their job, parents and managements of academic institutions in our state must remain ever vigilant against such drugs," he added.
