Beliaberah police seize 78 kg of ganja from an Odisha lorry bound for Kolkata

Ei Muhurte reported that Jhargram district police searched a lorry on the national highway in the Pheko area under Beliaberah police station and recovered three sacks holding 78 kg of ganja. The report named the lorry driver as arrested and described him as a resident of Bihar, and said the consignment was moving from Odisha to Kolkata. The same report carries a wider account of the district as a trafficking route, attributing to police the view that those moving consignments choose forest roads to avoid surveillance. That characterisation is the report's own and is not adopted here.
