Chennai, Tamil Nadu: In a major breakthrough against drug trafficking, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) seized 590 kg of ganja worth around ₹3 crore in Gummidipoondi, Thiruvallur district, Tamil Nadu, on 31st August 2025. Six persons involved in the smuggling operation were arrested, and two vehicles used for transportation were confiscated.
