‘Strengthen excise check-posts, conduct regular review meetings’
Ganja (cannabis), cultivated in Andhra-Odisha border, is entering the State via Chintur and Bhadrachalam before being moved to other States like Maharashtra and Karnataka.
Police and Excise officials, who participated in a meeting convened by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday, told him that ganja was entering Telangana from neighbouring States, including Chhattisgarh. This prompted the need for a coordinated approach in association with officials from neighbouring States to completely check the movement of ganja.
A majority of people taking cannabis are workers and youth, including auto drivers and hamalis.
