The article, datelined New Delhi on 19 October 2026, says the operation took place "during 17-18 October 2026". The stored date, 17 October 2026, is the first day of the range.
Quantities
The headline says "591 kg" and the body says "591.3 kg" in 81 packets. The stored figures follow the body.
Attribution
The headline says the ganja was "smuggled from Nepal". The body says the truck was "suspected" of carrying it from Nepal, and the intelligence it cites was that a truck would enter Uttar Pradesh through Sonauli. The summary keeps the word "suspected", and the claim is the ministry's. The article does not say anyone was arrested.
Place
The interception is described as "on the road between Gorakhpur and Kushinagar", two districts, so no district is stored.
Map pin
The pin is the midpoint of the Wikidata points for Gorakhpur (Q5584396) and Kushinagar (Q825673), rounded to two decimals, and marks the road section between them, not a site.
