Operation Toofan .0
Together Against Drugs…
Operation Thoofan 2.0 Conducted in Manjalloor Grama Panchayat
‘Operation Thoofan 2.0’, a joint initiative of the Kerala Police and the Local Self-Government Department aimed at completely preventing the spread and use of narcotic substances in the state, was conducted in Manjalloor Grama Panchayat with extensive public participation.
The programme was organized with the objective of extending anti-drug activities to every ward and household by coordinating the law-enforcement powers of the police with the strong grassroots presence of local self-government institutions, rather than limiting the initiative merely to law-enforcement measures.
The programme was inaugurated by Manjalloor Grama Panchayat President Mr. Tommy Thannittammackal, who hoisted the Thoofan flag.
At the meeting that followed, Panchayat Secretary Mr. Mathew K. T. delivered the welcome address.
The meeting was attended by Block Vice President Mr. Jose Perumpillykunnel; Block Member Mr. John Kalambukatt; Panchayat Vice President Mrs. Jessy James; Development Standing Committee Chairman Mr. Santos Mathew; Health and Education Standing Committee Chairman Mr. Jinto Tommy; Welfare Standing Committee Chairperson Mrs. Mary John; Panchayat members Sameer Konickal, Roby Thadathil, Daisy James, Bindu Gopi, Rani Shaji, Selvaraj Sreedharan, E. K. Suresh, Nirmala Anil and Vasanthi Sabu; Panchayat Secretary Mathew K. T.; Assistant Secretary Anju T. Venu; and police officers from Vazhakulam Police Station.
Various activities were conducted as part of the programme, including the Thoofan Pledge, declaration of Thoofan Warriors, distribution of Thoofan Warrior badges, an awareness session, and a video presentation.
Employees of local self-government institutions, elected representatives, Haritha Karma Sena workers, Kudumbashree members, ASHA workers, Anganwadi workers, youth, students, teachers, and volunteers from various social organizations actively participated in the programme.
Mr. Jinto Tommy, Chairman of the Health and Education Standing Committee, delivered the vote of thanks.
