I went through individual Ramanathapuram Police contraband arrest insta posts from June 1 to September 3, 2026 and manually added the figures.

The tally:

• 172 arrests

• 442 kg ganja — almost half a tonne!

• 1.48 kg methamphetamine

• 30 drug tablets

The meth cases are particularly concerning. Police busted a clandestine meth lab, recovering meth along with precursor chemicals and laboratory equipment allegedly used to manufacture more. Reports say 12 people were eventually arrested in the meth-lab case.

There were also major coastal seizures, including 292 kg of ganja, with police saying the consignments were intended for smuggling to Sri Lanka.

Innum every now and then arrests poite Iruku. I also didn't include illegal alcohol in this.

I've been getting some insta reels about some foreigners visiting delhi for medical treatments. I have heard of chennai being the number one destination for this. So, I wanted to check the statistics. But I couldn't find any credible sources for this. I couldn't find any proper survey through the years as well. I have shared the ones that I have got. Even then it is hard to see when the data is from. I am not very good at this 🙂. Can anyone from the relevant field here pull up some data and tell us if this is true and give us a proper explanation for this?

At this point they're having one branch in every corner. 10 branches in Ramnad town alone.

As India and Tamil Nadu march towards a more advanced future, our district is still fighting for something as basic as water.

Look at the traffic 😮
