Food security is a significant concern in Lakshadweep due to its remote location and dependence on external supply chains. The Lakshadweep Police play a critical role in addressing food security challenges by monitoring food distribution systems and ensuring that food supplies are not subject to hoarding, black-market activities, or price manipulation. In addition, the police work with local authorities to prevent illegal fishing practices that could deplete local food sources.
The police also participate in disaster preparedness programs to ensure that food relief can be swiftly provided in the event of natural calamities. Their role is essential in maintaining stable food supply chains and ensuring that island communities have access to nutritious food at affordable prices.
