Source discrepancies
The Tribune, the cited source, and ETV Bharat both report this Central Bureau of Narcotics operation in Kullu district. They differ on the area and on the length of the operation.
| Outlet | Area | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| The Tribune (cited) | "12,900 bighas (1,032 ha)" | "a two-week operation" |
| ETV Bharat | "13,000 बीघा भूमि" (in English: 13,000 bighas of land) | "करीब 3 सप्ताह" (in English: about 3 weeks) |
This news item follows the Tribune, the cited source, and carries 1,032 hectares, the figure the Tribune prints beside its count of bighas. ETV Bharat gives no hectare figure.
Dating
Neither report gives a date for the destruction. The Tribune describes "a two-week operation" under the dateline "Mandi, September 20" and the line "Updated At : 11:44 AM Sep 21, 2022 IST". ETV Bharat is headed "Published : September 20, 2022 at 3:23 PM IST" and says the teams were sent "सितंबर माह के पहले सप्ताह में" (in English: in the first week of September). This news item carries 20 September 2022, the date in the Tribune dateline and in the ETV Bharat publication line.
Place
The Tribune places the operation "at different places in Kullu district" and names no locality. ETV Bharat names "मनाली व मणिकर्ण के इलाके" (in English: the areas of Manali and Manikaran) and lists "रूमसू, नजा, हलान, नथन, चौकी, धारा जरी, पीणी, पीड़सू, मलाणा, वाइचिंग, मैजिक वैली, शीला, तोश, उच्च, ग्राहन, मणिकर्ण की पहाड़ियों" (in English: the hills of sixteen localities, from Rumsu to Manikaran). This news item names no locality. It carries the district, Kullu, and the growing area, Kullu Valley.
Map pin
Both reports describe work at many sites in Kullu district. This news item carries one map pin (31.96, 77.11) for the whole operation.
