According to police sources, the operation was carried out following intelligence reports about the illegal cultivation of ganja in these areas. The proactive initiative reflects the local law enforcement’s determination to curb narcotics cultivation and trafficking in the state.
The eradication drive involved coordinated efforts between the Baijalbari PS team and TSR personnel.

The operation was carried out swiftly to prevent any potential resistance from those involved in illegal cultivation.
Officials highlighted that this initiative is part of a broader anti-narcotics campaign aimed at eliminating illegal drug cultivation and reducing the supply of contraband in Tripura. The action is expected to have a deterrent effect on individuals attempting to engage in similar activities.
The police also stressed that intelligence-based operations and constant vigilance are crucial in identifying and dismantling such illegal activities. The cooperation between PS staff and TSR personnel underscores the importance of joint operations in tackling narcotics and maintaining public safety.
This large-scale destruction of ganja plants not only prevents illegal drugs from entering the market but also safeguards the community from the associated social and health risks. Authorities reiterated their commitment to maintaining law and order and continuing anti-drug drives across the state.
The Baijalbari PS has urged residents to support law enforcement efforts by reporting suspicious activities and providing information that could help identify illegal cultivation sites. Local cooperation is considered vital for the success of such operations and ensuring a drug-free environment in Tripura.
With operations like this, the Tripura Police and TSR continue to demonstrate their proactive approach to combating narcotics, maintaining peace, and protecting public welfare. This latest eradication drive serves as a strong message against illegal drug cultivation in the state.
