GUWAHATI, Feb 19: Assam Police is carrying out a relentless campaign against drugs and psychotropic substances. After successfully recovering narcostic substances on a regular basis since the past four years, cops added another feather to the cap by destroying poppy cultivation in an 8-bigha stretch of land at Ghulani Tapu near the Assam-Bengal border.
Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma took to his social media handles to announce the crackdown launched on poppy cultivation in the State.
“8 Bighas of Poppy cultivation — destroyed 🚜💯
Peddlers in the Char area of Ghulani Tapu, near the Assam-Bengal border thought they could outsmart the administration and cultivate poppy.
Well, they forgot our Govt and @assampolice are always ahead in the game!
Plan foiled 👎🏼” Chief Minister Dr Sarma wrote on ‘X’, formerly Twitter.
