In a sweeping crackdown on the rising drug menace, Hyderabad’s Excise Department conducted extensive raids on several pubs across the city. The action was part of a broader campaign to curb drug-related activities in nightlife hotspots, following increasing reports of drug consumption and trafficking in the city.

Teams from the Excise Department, along with law enforcement, targeted popular pubs known for attracting large crowds, particularly on weekends. The raids led to the detention of several individuals, and authorities reportedly seized various illegal substances during the operation. The goal of the crackdown was to send a strong message to those involved in drug distribution and consumption that the authorities are taking the issue seriously.

This operation is part of a larger effort by Hyderabad’s law enforcement to combat the growing influence of narcotics in the city’s nightlife scene. Over recent months, authorities have intensified their efforts to track down the sources of drug distribution, leading to multiple arrests and seizures.

The raids also highlight the increasing vigilance of the Excise Department in monitoring establishments where illegal activities may be taking place. Pub owners and managers are being urged to cooperate with authorities and ensure that their establishments are not used for illegal purposes. The department has warned that any pub found to be complicit in allowing drug-related activities will face strict legal action.

The crackdown is expected to continue, with more raids planned as part of the ongoing effort to rid the city of the drug menace. Authorities are also encouraging the public to report any suspicious activities as they aim to make Hyderabad’s nightlife safer and free from illegal substances.
