Villagers Pledge to Stop Opium Farming in Jharkhand

In Jharkhand, India, villagers are promising not to grow opium, a plant used to make illegal drugs.

This pledge was made at a meeting led by local leaders and police to stop the illegal farming of opium in the area.

The police and local leaders explained to the villagers that growing opium is against the law.

The meeting also discussed growing different crops to help villagers make a living while following the law.

This effort is part of a larger plan to stop drug production and encourage farmers to grow legal crops instead.

This is an example of how the police, local leaders, and residents are working together.
