    Drug peddling has been going on for so many years if government doesn’t take strict action against peddlers and sellers as well strike fear of law then we will loose our youth to these damaging anti social elements

    Looks like the use of Ganja is rampant among medical students. Unless strict action is taken many more students will fall into thsi trap, Hence police must raid all suspected rug peddlers and punish the guilty. Drug peddlers and drug addicts must be arrested. I am sure our police personale can do that

    PG doctors involved in drugs; imagine a psychiatrist treating a patient for de-addiction or an orthopedic surgeon, anesthesist performing surgery under the influence of mind altering substances! As someone has stated, it should be made mandatory for the entire team of doctors to undergo drug clearance test before performing critical surgeries!!

    Anaestheologists play a critical role during operations ...Imagine a drug addict doctor performing such critical tasks .. Doctors before surgery .. full team ......Should be checked like how pilots are checked before flights for alcohol. Etc ..etc

    Why such arrests are not happening in MANIPAL/UDUPI and surroundings? Law should be equal to all....i heard there are no moral policing in those areas....People say manipal is more forward in everything than Goa.....😏

    I suppose Manipal and Udupi only saints live as there are maths nearby. so probably the cops are quiet. the general law does not apply to Manipal as it is ruled by the king of kings family

    There are 2 ways to get out. These doctors can either claim they were doing 'research' on Ganja or show affiliation to beedi/cheddi gangs. Then rest will be history.

    At this rate, looks like majority medical students in Mangalore are addicted to drugs! God only should come to the rescue of patients whom they treat under the influence of mind altering substances; this noble profession now seems to be going downhill with the infiltration of drug addicts who pose highly dangerous to patients they treat!

    If the arrests are based on consumption of ganja, then half of the student population in mangalore will be arrested. If such arrests can create fear among the consumption of drugs among students, then i welcome it. But as per law, these arrests will not hold good. Police should put effort on catching the big fish , like the seizure of drugs from adani port in gujrat rather then garnering media attention by catching poor students.
