Mysore/Mysuru, July 29 -- The shocking discovery of an MDMA drug manufacturing unit on Mysuru's outskirts has triggered one of the city's most extensive anti-narcotics crackdowns in recent years.

Since Sunday evening, City Police Commissioner Seema Latkar has personally spearheaded sweeping raids across multiple neighbourhoods, targeting suspected drug peddlers and users.

Simultaneous operations were carried out at 59 locations - including godowns, garages, PG hostels and residences of 35 individuals with prior drug records - spanning Mandi Mohalla, Lashkar Mohalla, N.R. Mohalla, Nazarbad and Udayagiri. The raids uncovered marijuana sales, led to one arrest, and resulted in cases filed against 26 individuals for drug consumption.
