Illegal ganja cultivation spread over nearly 100 acres was destroyed during the operation, properties valued at about Rs 1 crore were attached, and 68 financial investigations were initiated against accused persons, the reports said.

The campaign also included 215 public awareness events across the state, alongside the enforcement action, according to the same reporting.

The figures are the authorities' account of the completed week-long drive. Individual cases registered under the NDPS Act remain subject to investigation and court proceedings, and those arrested are accused persons until a court decides their cases.
