Madhya Pradesh police uncovered two instances of illegal cannabis cultivation in Dhar district during Operation Prhaar, seizing 1284 plants valued at 1.57 crore rupees.
Police forces in Madhya Pradesh have successfully busted two separate cases of illegal cannabis cultivation in Dhar district. The crackdown was executed under the ongoing 'Operation Prhaar', a specialized initiative aimed at curbing drug trafficking and illegal farming activities in the state.
During the operation, authorities recovered a total of 1,284 cannabis plants from the seized locations. The estimated market value of the confiscated contraband is reported to be 1.57 crore rupees. The discovery highlights the scale of illicit agricultural activities being conducted in the region.
The police report indicates that the illegal crops were being grown in a manner that allowed them to blend in with legitimate agricultural produce. Specifically, the cannabis plants were cultivated amidst fields of cotton and sugarcane, making them difficult to detect through routine surveillance.
This seizure is part of a broader effort by the Madhya Pradesh Police to dismantle networks involved in the production and supply of narcotics. The authorities have not yet released further details regarding the arrest of specific individuals responsible for the cultivation.
