Udaipur, April 12: A significant operation by the Anti Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has unveiled an illegal cannabis cultivation worth approximately ₹10 crore in the Delwara area, adjacent to Udaipur. Dubbed ‘Operation Ganjajuli,’ this crackdown resulted in the seizure of 5,860 cannabis plants.
Cultivation Hidden Behind a Luxury Hotel
The operation took place in a hilly region near a renowned five-star hotel on the Delwara-Kailashpuri road. Authorities received a tip-off about large-scale cannabis farming on around six bighas of private land. The team swiftly moved in and destroyed the entire crop.
Cannabis Concealed Among Wheat
The traffickers cleverly disguised the cannabis plants among wheat crops to avoid detection. The hilly terrain and the layout of the fields made it difficult to spot from the road or even by drone surveillance. The operation only came to light after the wheat harvest was completed.
65-Year-Old Suspect Arrested
A 65-year-old suspect, Nathulal Gameti, was apprehended at the scene while preparing small packets for distribution. Investigations revealed that there are 19 landholders associated with this operation, and efforts to locate them are ongoing.
Widespread Supply Network
Officials stated that this network was responsible for supplying narcotics across the Mewar and Marwar regions. Under the leadership of the ANTF, this marks the seventh major operation in the past six months, showcasing significant progress in the fight against drug trafficking.
