Khammam Excise Destroys 696 kg Ganja Worth Rs 3.5 Crore

The Excise Department is the part of the government that watches over alcohol and banned drugs.

In India, ganja is a drug that people are not allowed to sell or use.

Police officers caught people with ganja in 32 different cases.

They kept all the ganja locked up safely until it could be destroyed.

On Thursday, they destroyed all 696.1 kilograms of it.

That is almost as heavy as a small car.

The ganja was worth about 3.5 crore rupees, which is a huge amount of money.

They destroyed it in a special place built just for getting rid of drugs safely, located in Gopalpet.

Officials watched carefully to make sure everything was done in the correct way.

By destroying the ganja, they made sure it could never be sold or used by anyone.
