Police seize about 65 kg of ganja near Sherpur village on the Farakka to Haldia Badshahi road in Khargram

Bartaman Patrika reported that about 65 kg of ganja was recovered near Sherpur village under Khargram police station on the Farakka to Haldia Badshahi road, and that one person was arrested. The report is a headline brief carrying no body text and names no acting unit beyond the police. It states no day for the seizure, so the recorded date is the date of the report. The outlet published a second headline brief the same morning describing Khargram, a large quantity and one arrest, which is treated here as the same event rather than a second one.
