306 Acres of Illegal Poppy Cultivation Destroyed in Manipur

In Manipur, a big operation was done to stop illegal poppy farming.

Over 306 acres of poppy fields were destroyed in just six days.

This was done by different security forces like the Assam Rifles, CRPF, and Manipur Police.

They also destroyed huts and tools used for farming.

The poppy fields could have made a lot of opium, which is illegal and bad for people.

This is part of a bigger effort to stop drugs in Manipur.

The government and security forces have been working hard to destroy these fields for several years.

They want to make the area safer and stop the drug problem.
