Kerala has launched "Operation Toofan: The Narco Hunt," a major statewide campaign to combat drug trafficking and substance abuse. This initiative, involving multiple departments and advanced technology like digital surveillance and wastewater analysis, aims to dismantle drug networks, especially those involving synthetic drugs and children. Stricter actions against traffickers and enhanced public participation are key components of this extensive operation.

In a meeting on Monday, the collegium approved three different proposals for appointment of judges presented by the state govt to the Union law minister and forwarded to the collegium.

After intense deliberations, VD Satheesan has been chosen as Kerala's new Chief Minister, overcoming strong contenders KC Venugopal and Ramesh Chennithala. Key factors included alliance support, grassroots sentiment, and Satheesan's vocal opposition to the incumbent government, making him the preferred choice for a stable UDF administration.
