Kerala has long been a hotspot for smuggling activities, particularly the illegal importation of gold and contraband items. The Kerala Police have been working tirelessly to intercept smuggling operations, conducting frequent raids at airports, seaports, and border checkpoints. Recent seizures of smuggled gold highlight the effectiveness of these operations, with the police uncovering large caches of gold hidden in various concealments. The police’s swift response has been crucial in disrupting smuggling networks operating across the state.
The police also collaborate with customs and excise departments to enhance surveillance and intelligence-sharing, making it difficult for smuggling syndicates to evade detection. Additionally, the Kerala Police are focusing on preventing the entry of other contraband items, including drugs and weapons, into the state. Public awareness campaigns are being run to educate citizens about the consequences of smuggling and to encourage them to report suspicious activities.
