Quantities

The article says "approximately 7,000 mature cannabis plants" and "approximately five acres"; its headline says "Nearly 7 Thousand Ganja Trees". The stored 2.0 hectares is a conversion of 5 acres (5 x 0.4047 = 2.0).

Map pin

The Dhanirampur forest has no entry of its own. The pin is Wikidata's point for Sonamura (Q2733123, in Sepahijala district), rounded to two decimals. It marks the nearest named settlement, not the plots.

Related news items

The Free Press Journal reported a separate operation in the same district, also on 16 October: about 37,000 plants across 25 acres. The two articles name different sites and different agencies, and each is recorded on its own. A police recovery of dry ganja at Sonamura on 15 October is also a different event.
