The City police has added to its inventory a rapid drug screener that will enable the law enforcers to identify users of intoxicants. The equipment is aimed at enhancing road safety measures and reining in anti-social activities.
According to District Police Chief (Thiruvananthapuram City) C.H. Nagaraju, inspections will be intensified using the newly procured ‘mobile test system’ by a special team led by the Assistant Commissioner in charge of the Narcotics Cell.
He said the system has registered early success with many people nabbed after being tested positive using the equipment a day ago. It is capable of identifying people who have consumed intoxicants including MDMA, ganja and other narcotic substances.
