In response to an increase in drug-related occurrences, law enforcement in Hyderabad is calling for the prohibition of hookah parlors. Due to an increase in the seizure of ganja and other narcotics substances within their premises, these establishments have come under inspection.
According to reports, the Telangana government is adopting a hard stand against drug culture and has directed several agencies to take harsh steps against anyone participating in drug-related activities. This covers not just drug users, but also drug growers and manufacturers. The measure is part of a larger attempt to combat the drug problem at every stage of the supply chain.

According to law enforcement officials, hookah parlors, which are primarily constructed for smoking hookah, serve as possible drug distribution hubs. Snacks and drinks are also available in some establishments. The issue is that these locations may serve as gathering spots for people involved in drug-related activities.
Although no formal declaration has been made regarding the ban on hookah parlors, the push for such a prohibition demonstrates the government’s commitment to addressing the region’s rising drug problem. Previous cases have revealed instances of ganja and other narcotics being seized in such places, thus law enforcement organizations are particularly concerned about the link between hookah parlours and drug consumption.
Law enforcement authorities are actively striving to address these concerns thoroughly as the state government focuses on strengthening its response to the combined challenges of the drug threat and rising cybercrime. The introduction of anti-drug measures, including a potential ban on hookah parlors, demonstrates a deliberate effort to make Hyderabad a safer and drug-free environment.
