Ramesh Chennithala to Meet TN CM Vijay to Seek Support 'Operation Toofan'

Keralam Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala is set to meet Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay in Chennai on Wednesday to seek interstate cooperation for 'Operation Toofan', a massive anti-narcotics campaign launched by the Keralam government. 

Speaking to reporters after the high-level meeting, Chennithala highlighted the success of the ongoing drive and emphasised the need for a unified front against the drug mafia in South India. "People who



were using drugs and selling drugs were arrested. I came here to Chennai to meet the Chief Minister, Vijay, to take his support for this programme," Chennithala said.

Launched in June 2026, 'Operation Toofan: The Narco Hunt' has already resulted in thousands of arrests across Keralam. Lauding the performance of the fledgling TVK-led government in Tamil Nadu, which took office earlier this year, Chennithala praised the leadership of Chief Minister Vijay.
