Headline corrected

The headline read "Police destroy cannabis on 60 bigha and opium poppy on 50 bigha in Raksirang". It now reads "Police destroy cannabis on about 60 bigha and opium poppy on about 50 bigha in Raksirang", because the Narcotics Control Bureau e-bulletin, the cited source, gives 60 bigha 10 kattha of cannabis and 50 bigha 6 kattha of opium poppy; the earlier headline rounded both figures to whole bigha without saying so.
