Such activities not only harm public health but can also lead to an increase in crime rates within the community. The recent arrests could serve as a warning to others and help reduce illegal activities in this area.
Given the sensitivity of the issue and its social and legal implications, it is expected that the relevant authorities will address these matters with greater seriousness and prevent the continuation of illegal activities.
