Bhubaneswar: In a major crackdown on drug trafficking, police in Odisha's Koraput district seized a massive consignment of cannabis valued at approximately ₹10 crore. The contraband was being smuggled from the Buding forest area to Rajasthan.
About The Operation
Acting swiftly on a tip-off, a police team launched a special operation and intercepted a truck disguised as a carrier for plant saplings. Upon thorough inspection, officers discovered cannabis with an estimated local market value of over ₹3 crore. However, officials noted that the consignment’s worth could exceed ₹10 crore in other states.
The truck driver has been taken into custody, while others involved in the smuggling operation managed to flee the scene.

Efforts are ongoing to track down and apprehend all individuals linked to the racket.
