Sniffer Dog Roma Cracks Down on Ganja in Adilabad
There is a special dog named Roma in Adilabad, India, who is trained to find people with ganja (a type of drug).
Roma and the police work together to catch people who use or sell ganja.
They check places like bus stands and railway stations because ganja sellers often travel with it hidden in their bags.
Roma's presence makes ganja users and sellers nervous, and they sometimes try to run away when they see the dog.
The police have caught several people with ganja in the last six months.
Roma helps the police by sniffing out ganja and barking to alert them.
The police are also teaching people in villages and schools about the dangers of ganja to stop its use and cultivation.
Roma, a trained sniffer dog, helps Adilabad Police detect ganja users and peddlers in public places and transit areas.
Roma has contributed to four cases of ganja detection in the last six months, including at bus stands and the railway station.
The dog's presence creates fear among ganja users and peddlers, often causing them to flee.
Police conduct awareness programs in villages and educational institutions to curb ganja cultivation and consumption.
Roma was inducted into the police department about one-and-a-half years ago and is handled by Pasupula Ramesh.
