In a major crackdown on illicit drug cultivation, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has destroyed cannabis crops spread over 9.49 acres of farmland in Dhule district, North Maharashtra.
MUMBAI: The operation, spearheaded by the Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur regional units of DRI, uncovered a highly organised network engaged in large-scale illegal cannabis farming.
Acting on specific intelligence, DRI officials launched a surveillance operation in the remote villages of Khamkheda, Ambe, and Rohini, located along the Madhya Pradesh-Maharashtra border. The investigation helped pinpoint seven sites where cannabis was being illegally cultivated.
