Dating
The article is datelined Kathmandu, 7 May 2016, and gives no date for the destruction. The item uses the dateline.
Source discrepancies
A later article in the same newspaper (3 July 2016) describes what reads as the same operation, at the same three places and on the same area, as having taken place "Last month", that is in June 2016. The item follows the May article, which reported it first.

The same article is the source of the news item of 7 May 2016 on the Narcotics Control Bureau's two-year figures for ten districts.
These notes were recorded when the news item was prepared. Éloise 04:49, 10 November 2026 (+07)
Headline corrected
The headline read "Narcotics Control Bureau destroys cannabis on 1,100 ropani in Gokarneshwor". It now reads "Narcotics Control Bureau destroys cannabis on more than 1,100 ropani in Gokarneshwor", because The Himalayan Times, the cited source, gives "more than 1,100 ropani"; the earlier headline stated the figure more precisely than the source.
