NCB and Security Forces Destroy Over 1.37 Lakh Kg Cannabis in Arunachal Pradesh
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), along with the Sashastra Seema Bal, Central Reserve Police Force, Arunachal Pradesh Police, and other agencies, destroyed over 1.37 lakh kg of illicit cannabis plants across approximately 458 acres in West Kameng district's Kalaktang subdivision during October 26 to November 3, 2026. This operation, part of a broader anti-narcotics drive under the Vision Document on Narcotics Control (2026-2029), used ground surveys and satellite imagery to locate cultivation sites. Further drives targeting cannabis and opium poppy cultivation in other Arunachal Pradesh districts are planned.
