Authorities Destroy Illegal Cannabis and Poppy Farms in Arunachal, Manipur

In a significant move to combat illegal drug cultivation, authorities in the northeastern states of Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur have destroyed extensive plantations of cannabis and poppy. The operation was carried out to prevent the production and distribution of narcotics in the region.

The enforcement teams identified the illegal farms and proceeded to uproot the plants, ensuring that no harvest could be made. This action is part of a broader strategy to tighten the grip on drug trafficking networks operating in the border areas.

Local administration officials stated that such operations are critical for maintaining law and order and protecting the local population from the harmful effects of illicit drugs. The destroyed plantations were subsequently cleared to prevent regrowth.

This initiative highlights the ongoing efforts by state and central agencies to monitor and dismantle illegal agricultural activities related to narcotics in the northeast.
