Boudh: With the objective of making the district drug-free, Boudh Police has intensified the ‘Sankalpa: Drug-Free Boudh’ campaign. Under the leadership of the Superintendent of Police (SP), enforcement measures against illegal cannabis cultivation, smuggling and drug-related activities have been strengthened. While anti-narcotics operations were earlier carried out under Operation Dahan, the police are now stepping up efforts to achieve the goal of making Boudh a drug-free district through the ‘Sankalpa: Drug-Free Boudh’ campaign.
As part of these efforts, more than 53 tonnes of cannabis have been seized in Boudh district so far in 2026, and 173 persons have been arrested in connection with related cases. In addition, 83,790 kilograms of seized cannabis have been destroyed under Operation Dahan.
The police are focusing on identifying areas where cannabis is cultivated, destroying illegal plantations, preventing the smuggling of narcotic substances and taking legal action against those involved in such activities.
Through the ‘Sankalpa: Drug-Free Boudh’ campaign, the police aim to curb drug-related activities, protect young people from the harmful effects of substance abuse and build a healthy, aware and drug-free society. Public cooperation and awareness are also crucial to the success of this campaign.
