Uttarakhand, Uttarkashi: Upon receiving credible intelligence regarding the unlawful cultivation of narcotic substances, the Dharasu Police Station, in coordination with a team from the Revenue Department, launched a targeted operation under the leadership of In-Charge Inspector Shri Dinesh Kumar. The raid was conducted in the Maladi and Devidar Toak areas of Jeshtwadi Village, situated within the Banchaura region under the jurisdiction of Dharasu Police Station.
During the meticulously planned operation, law enforcement officials identified and eradicated illegal opium/poppy cultivation spanning approximately 0.3 hectares (15 naali) of land. The illicit crops, grown in violation of legal provisions, were systematically destroyed to prevent their potential misuse in narcotics production and distribution.
Authorities emphasized that such operations are part of an ongoing crackdown on illegal drug cultivation, aimed at curbing the production and trafficking of narcotics in the region. The police, in collaboration with other enforcement agencies, remain vigilant in monitoring and taking stringent action against individuals or groups involved in such unlawful activities. Further investigations are underway to identify those responsible for cultivating the prohibited crops and to initiate appropriate legal proceedings against them.
