The Palamaner police in Chittoor district on July 18 (Tuesday) arrested twelve people on charge of smuggling ganja and seized 11 kgs of contraband from their possession.
A crackdown on the smuggling network over the last week has led to the seizure of 50 kg ganja and the arrest of 35 persons, most of them hailing from the Visakhapatnam Agency, who were found selling the contraband to the locals in sachets.
Deputy Superintendent of Police N. Sudhakar Reddy told the media that the police were committed to making the border sub-division a ‘ganja-free zone’.
