After three patches were zeroed in on, the Prohibition and Excise Department had gone in with the armed forces to these areas to confirm the cultivation of ganja and curb it. The crops were destroyed immediately and the tribals warned against its cultivation. Now, the Andhra Pradesh CM has ordered strict action against the people involved in cultivating ganja.

The Director of Enforcement, Prohibition and Excise Department, K Venkateswara Rao told The New Indian Express, “Yes, the ADRIN experiments helped us locate ganja cultivation areas. The excise and police officials visited the three locations which have been spotted with the help of satellite images and destroyed the ganja crop. The coordination committee is also chalking out plans to take up preventive measures to put a logical end to ganja cultivation in the dense forests.”
