Violence fomented by drug abuse on the rise in Kochi
The HinduLife has been far from normal for the residents of a high-rise apartment complex at Edachira, near Thrikkakara, for nearly a fortnight now. While the newly married couples have brought in their parents for company, the elderly living next to the apartment concerned hardly ever venture out,” said N.A. Nagaraju, District Police Chief, admitted that the soaring influx of drugs was perpetrating violent crimes in the city with enforcement agencies capturing just a fraction of the substances floating around. To overcome the shortcoming, the Kochi City police have envisaged a plan of rating apartment complexes in terms of security management. Also, the police have warned of invoking abetment charges against apartment complexes found wanting in complying with security norms if a mishap happens on their premises.
