Police in Odisha have begun a focused operation against an inter‑state mafia involved in cannabis trafficking across the state.
The law‑enforcement agencies in Odisha have announced a coordinated effort to dismantle a cannabis smuggling ring that operates across state borders. Officials say the network moves large quantities of marijuana into Odisha and distributes it through local channels.
The operation involves surveillance, intelligence gathering and targeted raids in areas identified as key transit points. Police have warned that the crackdown will continue until the entire syndicate is neutralised.
Authorities have urged the public to cooperate by reporting any suspicious activity related to drug trafficking. The move reflects a broader national push to curb illicit drug trade and protect community health.
The police statement emphasized that the effort is part of an ongoing strategy to disrupt organized crime groups that exploit state boundaries for illegal trade.
