Cooch Behar police report about 1,890 bighas of cannabis cut since September with no arrests

Uttarbanga Sambad reported that information obtained from police showed the district force had cut cannabis plants across about 1,890 bighas of land from September to the date of the report. The report named Maghpala, Chandamari, Madhupur, Kalpani, Balrampur, Gosanimari and Sitalkuchi among the areas covered and quoted the district superintendent of police. The paper raised the absence of arrests despite the scale of the destruction. The report gave no year for the September start and carried no single event date, so the date recorded here is the publication date.
