The Andhra Pradesh police have destroyed ganja plantations in around 10,000 acres in the Andhra-Odisha Border (AOB) region and small pockets in other districts in the year 2023.
Steps are being taken to check ganja cultivation and provide alternative livelihood options to the tribal farmers, says Director General of Police (DGP) K.V. Rajendranath Reddy.
“The police, in association with Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB), have launched a drive against ganja cultivation and smuggling in the State. Drones are being used to take satellite images of ganja plantations,” says the DGP.
