On Thursday, railway police at Egmore railway station in Chennai seized 5 kg of gutka and 3 kg of ganja from unclaimed bags found on trains. The police conducted checks on an express train traveling from Kakinada to Chengalpet, where they discovered an unattended bag containing gutka. This consignment was subsequently handed over to the Food Safety Department. In a separate incident, an unclaimed bag containing 3 kg of ganja was found in an unreserved coach of an express train arriving from Jasidih, Jharkhand, to Tambaram. The ganja was seized and transferred to the prohibition enforcement wing for further action. Authorities have registered cases and are investigating to identify the individuals responsible for transporting these illegal substances. The increased surveillance is part of efforts to prevent the transport of contraband and cash, especially in the context of upcoming elections.
