Drug mafia from different countries like China, Myanmar, Bangladesh and Nepal invest a huge amount of money in poppy plantation and that Manipur's soil is very suitable for cultivating high-quality poppy and ganja.
Ukhrul, Chandel and Churachandpur districts bordering Myanmar are the places from where large-scale poppy cultivation has been reported recently. Ganja mainly comes from Ukhrul, Senapati and Imphal East districts.
Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officials here said they have got reports that crude products of poppy grown in Manipur are smuggled out to the notorious Golden Triangle through the porous India-Myanmar border. Under Section 48 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substance (NDPS) Act, the NCB is empowered to attach and destroy poppy plants among other narcotic substances, the officials added.
