Vienna-headquartered World Malayali Federation (WMF) would also carry out a comprehensive drive in 166 world countries, where it has presence, it's office-bearers said in a statement on Tuesday.

Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly V D Satheesan inaugurated the campaign at a function held in Vienna on Sunday.

During his address, Satheesan said drug enforcement is not about increasing the number of cases. Rather, it is about finding and eliminating the source of narcotics.
