Guwahati: Reinforcing its crackdown on narcotics, Majuli Police on Saturday destroyed 115.919 kg of ganja seized in separate anti-drug operations conducted across the district.
The contraband had been recovered during raids in the Dakhinpat-Kumargaon area and Perabhari village under the jurisdiction of Majuli Police Station.
The seized ganja was destroyed at the Majuli Brick Field in Boritika after all legal formalities were completed.
The disposal was carried out under the supervision of the District Level Drug Disposal Committee in accordance with prescribed legal procedures and environmental norms to ensure the safe destruction of the narcotic substance.
The exercise was attended by the Senior Superintendent of Police, Majuli, members of the District Level Drug Disposal Committee and other officials, who monitored the entire destruction process.
Police said the disposal of the seized ganja reflects the district’s continued efforts to curb drug trafficking and prevent confiscated narcotics from re-entering the illegal market. Such destruction drives form an important part of the legal process after the completion of seizure and judicial procedures.
The exercise comes amid intensified anti-narcotics operations across Assam, where law enforcement agencies have stepped up surveillance, raids and enforcement measures as part of the state’s broader campaign against drug trafficking.
Officials reiterated that Majuli Police will continue taking strict action against narcotics-related offences and appealed to the public to cooperate by reporting drug-related activities to the authorities.
The police said sustained public participation, along with consistent enforcement, is essential to combating drug trafficking and curbing substance abuse across the state.
