"As informed, some government servants have confessed about their addiction to drugs with many among them undergoing treatment. Once the government-set timeline is over, anybody indulging in drug addiction will be not be excused," said Felix categorically.

Lauding the good teamwork of the State police personnel, the Home Minister said, "A police constable serves at the lowest level of hierarchy and the Home Minister at the top. Both are equally important for the department and in this hierarchy if anything goes wrong at any level, the entire system collapses as they are all interlinked and interdependent."

He directed all the police officers to review the present situation of the second wave of COVID-19 and work as a team with the SPs in the border areas where there are entry points into the State.
