Police destroy 55,000+ cannabis plants in coordinated Bishalgarh operation

Part of Tripura eradication campaigns (2025)

A coordinated anti-cannabis operation led by Bishalgarh SDPO Bikash Senthia (IPS) destroyed approximately 55,000 cannabis plants across 25 plots in the Banshibari forest area on November 11, 2025. The six-hour operation (6 a.m. to noon) involved joint forces from Bishalgarh Police Station, TSR, BSF, CRPF, Charilam Forest Department, and 14th Battalion Women TSR personnel. The cultivators reportedly observed from nearby forests as their crops were uprooted and burned. Local residents alleged that unlike Bishalgarh police, Kalamchaura police have avoided anti-cannabis operations in their jurisdiction due to alleged influence and monetary inducements from cultivators.
