Kochi, Actor Unni Mukundan on Monday praised the Kerala government and police for their sustained crackdown on drugs and organized drug networks under Operation Tuvan.
The United Democratic Front (UDF) government, after coming to power, launched Operation Tuvan to curb the drug menace across the state, with arrests being made across Kerala on a daily basis.
In a Facebook post, Mukundan expressed his appreciation to Chief Minister V D Sathisan and Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala for what he called “decisive action against the growing drug menace”.
He also referred to the crackdown in Perumbavoor area of Ernakulam district, where the drug trade targets migrant workers.
“The ongoing operations carried out by the Kerala Police under Operation Tovan have resulted in major arrests and sent a strong message that drug-related crimes will not be tolerated,” he said.
The representative said that this action reflects the commitment of the government and law enforcement agencies to protect society and protect future generations.
Mukundan also congratulated a group of youth who documented the situation on the ground and shared videos online, bringing the issue to public attention.
He said he learned about it through his video and later sent it to the Kerala Police.
“I must commend the police department and its IT cell for their remarkably quick response. What impressed me most was not just the speed of the initial action, but the determination to maintain the momentum and continue the campaign after the first arrests,” he said.
According to the representative, such measures strengthen public confidence in the legal system, police forces and state administration.
Mukundan urged citizens to take responsibility in addressing social issues instead of waiting for others to take action.
“Our young brothers and sisters should never become victims of drug abuse just because the rest of us choose to remain silent. Every responsible citizen has a duty to protect the future of the next generation,” he said.
Mukundan also thanked the Kerala Police and specifically praised police officer ASP Perumbavoor Hardik Meena for his role in handling the case.
