The State Excise Enforcement Squad on Wednesday arrested two persons travelling on a pickup van and seized 150 kg of ganja from them at Aanavathil on the Container Terminal Road.
The arrested men were identified as Nandakumar, 27, of Palakkad, and Kunjumon, 36, of Walayar. They confessed to have smuggled in the ganja for a resident of Mulavukad identified as Boat Antony.
The squad has been keeping a close eye on Malappuram, Palakkad, and Ernakulam districts for the past couple of days following information that drug networks were active after bars and liquor outlets were closed as part of the pandemic-related restrictions.
