Eighty two (82) kilogrammes of Kerala Ganja have been seized from the Maradankerni coast in Palai. The stock was discovered following a joint operation carried out by the Police and the Navy.

While the suspects who were transporting the stock of drugs had fled the area, an operation is underway to apprehend them.

Police noted that they received a tip-off early Monday morning that a stock of Kerala Ganja was being transported. Police added that the suspects had thrown the stash into a nearby wooded area and fled, when they realized that they were being pursued by the police.
