The police said that it destroyed 201 acres of cannabis crop in various parts of Visakhapatnam agency area with the help of government officials and villagers.

Sending a clear message
Destroying the cannabis crop and busting drug trade is only part of the solution and not the answer to solving the drug menace. For this, the AP Police is also conducting awareness programs with Kalajatha teams in the agency area, where the cannabis crops are largely found. These programs will generate consciousness among villagers and motivate them to avoid cultivating marijuana.
