Imphal, January 22 2019:
The incessant poppy plantation in the regions of Manipur has long been a problem that has troubled the state administration and successive governments.
On Monday afternoon a team of Assam Rifles Singhat Battalion , Churachandpur Sector , Narcotics and Affairs of Border and Churachandpur Police reached Lungthul T village near the India Myanmar border and destroyed poppy worth over 2 Crores .
SDO Songdo was also present as a representative from the civil administration .

The joint OP was based on inputs received by Assam Rifles and ascertained over a period of time.
This operation is a big shot in the arms for the Civil administration and the government , that has been trying for long to fight this rampant problem and also for the security forces as most of this money from poppy plantation is recycled to fund and support the insurgent groups for anti National activities .
The chief and the people of the village , Lungthul T was also supportive and have vowed to help in future as well apart from ensuring that no part of their land would be used for plantation of poppy in the future .
