Police in Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh, seized a detailed map outlining a 10‑tonne cannabis smuggling route that links Odisha with Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.
On Tuesday, officers of the Mahasamund Police Station in Chhattisgarh seized a comprehensive map that traced a 10‑tonne cannabis smuggling corridor running from Odisha through Maharashtra to Uttar Pradesh. The map, reportedly in the possession of a known smuggler, highlighted key transit points and transport routes used by the traffickers.
The police said the document was recovered during a coordinated operation aimed at dismantling a cross‑state drug network. Investigators noted that the route had been used repeatedly for moving large quantities of ganja, and the map could help trace the logistics chain.
Chief Superintendent of Police, Mahasamund, stated that the seizure is a major blow to the drug syndicate and that further investigations will focus on identifying the individuals involved and the financial links behind the operation.
Law enforcement officials have warned that the discovery could lead to additional arrests and the confiscation of more illicit goods as they probe the broader smuggling network.
