Narcotic Detection Dogs to weed out drug menace from pubs and clubs of Hyderabad

The Hindu  

Following Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s remarks on ‘better utilisation’ of police dogs to fight the drug menace across the State, Hyderabad’s Jubilee Hills police has initiated a night operation at clubs and pubs in the West Zone. As many as eight pubs were checked in three drives conducted in the last 15 days, officials from the Jubilee Hills police explained adding that so far, no arrests or seizures have been reported. The target is not only narcotic substances, but also pubs and clubs serving liquor to minors,” Jubilee Hills ACP P. Venkatagiri said. This comes shortly after a circular memorandum was also issued by a senior official from the State police earlier in June directing the forces to deploy Narcotic Detection Dogs for improving surveillance across restaurants, bars and pubs, which are centres of drug trade in the State.
