A house surgeon at the Thrissur Government Medical College was held with drugs on Tuesday.
The police seized 2.5 g of MDMA (ecstasy) and other synthetic drugs from Akhil Mohammed Hussain, who was staying at a private hostel near the medical college. The drugs were brought from Bengaluru, according to the police.
The Medical College police and the City Shadow police were keeping vigil as there were reports that a drug network had been active near the medical college, concentrating around private hostels.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
