The Punjab Kesari article, the cited source, carries the line "Updated: 27 Sep, 2026 03:33 PM" and gives no date for the operations in the Tosh beat or at Malana. It quotes the range forest officer as saying the drive "निरंतर जारी रहेगा" (in English: will continue). This news item carries 27 September 2026, the date of the report.

Quantities

The article gives separate figures for the two areas. For the Tosh beat it gives "लगभग 10 हैक्टेयर वन क्षेत्र" (in English: about 10 hectares of forest area) and "करीब 12 लाख भांग के पौधों" (in English: about 12 lakh cannabis plants). For Malana it gives "लगभग 15 हैक्टेयर क्षेत्र" (in English: about 15 hectares of area), with no plant count. Its headline gives "25 हैक्टेयर भूमि" (in English: 25 hectares of land). This news item gives 25 hectares, the sum of the two areas, and 1,200,000 plants, which is 12 lakh written out. The plants figure covers the Tosh beat only.

Map pin

The article names two operation areas, the Tosh beat and Malana, and gives no coordinates for either. This news item carries a single map pin (32.04, 77.36) for the drive as a whole, not for either area.
