The article gives "more than 80,000 marijuana plants". The plant field holds 80,000.

Two areas are named, Chapakharka in Godavari Municipality-4 and Triveni, so the pin is the district headquarters, Lalitpur, rounded to two decimals. Nothing happened at that point.

Headline corrected

The headline read "Lalitpur police destroy 80,000 wild cannabis plants at Chapakharka and Triveni". It now reads "Lalitpur police destroy more than 80,000 wild cannabis plants at Chapakharka and Triveni", because The Himalayan Times, the cited source, gives "more than 80,000"; the earlier headline stated the figure more precisely than the source.
