On Tuesday 3 February 2026, Sonamura Police destroyed approximately 15,000 mature cannabis plants across seven plots covering nearly five acres of forest land in the Rangamathia and Bholamura areas of Sonamura sub-division, Sepahijala district, in a joint operation with the 11th and 14th Battalion Tripura State Rifles. The operation ran from 2:30 pm to 5:45 pm. Officials estimated the destroyed standing crop at approximately ₹2.25 crore. The team also seized 136 kg of dried cannabis packed in two large packets and four sacks, with an estimated black-market value of around ₹2.4 lakh, calculated at ₹15,000 per kilogram. Police treated the seized material as unclaimed and registered a case. The operation was led by Sonamura Police Station Officer-in-Charge Inspector Tapas Das. An investigation to identify cultivators and those storing the illegal cannabis was reported as ongoing.
