Joint Forces Eradicate 45 Acres of Illicit Poppy Cultivation in Manipur’s Churachandpur

Indian Army troops and local police forces carried out a coordinated operation that destroyed 45 acres of illicit poppy cultivation in Churachandpur district of Manipur. The eradication was aimed at cutting off the supply of raw material used for illegal drug production. The joint operation was part of a broader campaign to curb drug trafficking in the northeastern region. Authorities said the removal of the crop would disrupt the supply chain and reduce the availability of narcotics in the area. The operation was praised by security officials as a significant step toward ensuring public safety and maintaining law and order.
