From these individuals, approximately 7,270 kilograms of *ganja*, over 9 kilograms of *charas* (hashish), 105 kilograms of MDMA (synthetic drug), 500 grams of 'OG' *ganja*, 9 kilograms of *doda* (poppy husks), 630 grams of narcotic powder, and 885 narcotic pills have been recovered. Additionally, 3,373 e-cigarettes have also been seized.

Additional Police Commissioner Rajiv Narayan Mishra explained that the police have been able to strengthen their grip through continuous surveillance, intelligence gathering, and precise strategic planning. Traffickers are being apprehended by maintaining a strict watch on suspicious activities and taking immediate action the moment information is received.
