Manipur Faces Existential Crisis Over Poppy Cultivation

Former Chief Minister N Biren Singh of Manipur has spoken about a big problem in the state.

He says that people are cutting down forests to grow poppy plants, which are used to make drugs.

This is causing floods and destroying the environment.

He also mentioned that armed groups might be involved in this illegal activity.

Security forces have been working to destroy these poppy plants.

They have destroyed over 800 acres of poppy fields, which could have made a lot of drugs worth hundreds of crores of rupees.

The forces are continuing their efforts to stop this illegal farming and bring peace to the region.
