Decrying the government’s order to transfer Mr. Jain, Mangaluru City North MLA Y. Bharath Shetty said in a statement that the government has transferred the official who effectively curtailed operations of drug peddlers and efficiently maintained law and order. Mr. Jain worked with a commitment to bring youth of the district out of drug abuse. By transferring Mr. Jain, the government has indirectly supported those behind the sale of drugs and other illegal activities.
“If the sale of narcotic drugs turns rampant and the future of youth gets spoilt, the government will be solely responsible for it,” the MLA said. The government should give Mr. Agrawal a free hand for the police to deal with narcotic drugs and other illegal activities, Dr. Shetty said.
