Guruvayur: The activities of drug mafias are going on in such a way as to disturb the peace of the temple towns. An example of this is the incident in which an innocent young man was attacked by a drug-mafia group in a flat complex at Mammiyur Junction, Guruvayur, the other day.
In Guruvayur there is a practice of renting out flats and houses by the day without a license. Most of these are operating illegally with the tacit consent of the Guruvayur Municipality. Such flats and others are being taken on daily rent and converted into business centers by the drug mafia gangs.
The Guruvayur Municipality should take action to shut down such centers that are operating without a license. BJP Guruvayur constituency president Anil Mancharambat said that the police should be ready to take strong legal action against the drug mafia gangs.
