Dating
OrissaPOST's article is stamped 26 October 2026 and says the arrested man was "produced in court Sunday", which was 25 October. It does not date the raid. The stored date is that of the article, so the raid took place on 25 October or earlier.
Quantities
The article says "more than 2,000 cannabis plants" on "about two acres". Both are approximations. The stored plant count, 2000, is the lower bound, and the stored hectare figure, 0.8, is a conversion of about two acres at 0.4047 hectares per acre.
Place
The article is datelined Kalimela, and the plants were near Nagulur village under Papulur panchayat (the article prints "Papu lur"), in Malkangiri district. Kalimela is the police station area and Nagulur the village.
Map pin
The pin is OpenStreetMap's point for Kalimela, rounded to two decimals, the same point as the news item of 3 October for a seizure near Venkatapalam (3 October). It marks the police station area and not the forest land. Nagulur has no entry in Wikidata or OpenStreetMap, and the Wikidata entity for Kalimela police station (Q123279645) carries no coordinate.
