To help students, parents, institutions, and others report drug consumption and sales, the Mangaluru City Police launched the QR-code-based anonymous reporting portal in Mangaluru on Thursday.

Speaking at the programme organised by the department to mark International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy said this can be used to report persons consuming drugs, peer pressure to consume drugs and sale and delivery of narcotics in one’s locality. “We will keep the information confidential and take action,” he said.
