Drugs and alcohol are finally coming into their own in Kerala, especially in the state of Kochi, a busy city known to be a business centre apart from being a mega trading centre. The state that is known as God’s own country, and is regarded as one of the most popular tourist destinations in India, is battling a drug menace. Drug use according to officials is gradually getting out of hand.

The state’s financial capital, Kochi may soon be christened ‘narcotics’ own city’ if the latest figures released by the state government are anything to go by. In the last few months alone, 300 kilograms of marijuana were seized from Kochi, making it one of the richest hauls ever in this part of the country in such a short period.

But this could only be the tip of the iceberg. The state’s Excise and Prohibition Department, the nodal agency engaged in fighting the drug menace, says that around 50,000 kilograms of narcotic and tobacco-related material of various kinds have been caught from Kochi and other cities during the same period.

The state is certainly on a new high and Kochi is leading from the front. Ganja, Brown Sugar, Heroin are available more freely in the city.

The enforcement agencies are putting the blame on an ever-growing migrant labor population in the state, calling them primary carriers, and in most cases, the users too of the substance in the state.
