Cultivation and enforcement
Balrampur, under Tufanganj police station, was one of the sites where the district police destroyed cannabis in September 2024,[1] and was named again a month later among the areas where about 1,890 bighas had been cut since September.[2]
The Sankosh bridge, where the road from Assam enters the district, is a checkpoint for ganja moving west. Boxirhat police seized 93.4 kg there in June 2023[3] and 575 kg hidden under tomatoes in September 2023.[4]
