Addicts can seek treatment, get legal relief under NDPS Act: Thrissur Rural police

Thrissur Rural police have launched an initiative under Section 64A of the NDPS Act to offer addicts a path to rehabilitation. This program allows individuals struggling with addiction to seek treatment and potentially receive legal immunity from prosecution. The initiative runs parallel to ongoing efforts by law enforcement to dismantle drug trafficking networks and combat the drug mafia.

This program offers a crucial avenue for individuals with addiction to receive help and a fresh start, balancing law enforcement's crackdown on drug trade with public health concerns.
