Police seize 2.8 tonnes of ganja in forest near Jamuli in Kalahandi

Pragativadi reported that police in Kalahandi district recovered 160 bags of ganja weighing 2.8 tonnes from forest near Jamuli village, on the boundary between Kandhamal and Kalahandi districts. According to the report the raid was led by the Rampur inspector in charge with support from Mohangiri outpost personnel, and officials put the value of the contraband at more than one crore rupees. Four people were arrested, among them a village guard, and were later produced in court. The report links the seizure to intelligence about ganja being moved out of Odisha through courier companies, and it does not give the date of the raid, so this record carries the article's publication date.
