Dating

The article (26 January 2016) gives no date for the destruction. The item uses the date of the article.

Quantities

The article gives the area as "marijuana was cultivated in 1,500 bigha and opium in 350 bigha land". The item repeats these figures as the article prints them. A report in the same newspaper a month earlier gave about 125 bigha for the destruction in Namtar VDC, one of the seven.

Place

The article spells one of the seven VDCs "Raskirang". It is the VDC spelled Raksirang elsewhere.

Map pin

Seven VDCs are named, so the pin is the district headquarters, Hetauda, rounded to two decimals. Nothing happened at that point.
