The article is datelined Kathmandu, 16 June 2019, and says the plants were destroyed "recently", over three days. The item uses the dateline.
Source discrepancies
A later article in the same newspaper (24 August 2019) says that in June the bureau "had destroyed cannabis plants illegally cultivated in over 75,000 ropanis land" at the same six places. The cited article gives "around 5,800 ropanis". The item follows the cited article.

Headline corrected
The headline read "Narcotics Control Bureau and APF destroy cannabis on 5,800 ropani at Okhreni and nearby". It now reads "Narcotics Control Bureau and APF destroy cannabis on about 5,800 ropani at Okhreni and nearby", because The Himalayan Times, the cited source, gives "about 5,800 ropani"; the earlier headline stated the figure more precisely than the source.
