SSB destroy illegal poppy cultivation in naxal strongholds

New Delhi [India], Mar. 14 (ANI): Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) had launched an offensive against illegal poppy cultivation in the states of Jharkhand and Bihar especially in naxal dominated areas.

In 2017-18, SSB battalions had successfully destroyed the poppy cultivation approximately spread across 550 acres of land.

The average production of poppy cultivation is 20 kg per acre, and the production cost is Rs 1 lakh per acre. Therefore, the total cost of poppy cultivation destroyed by SSB was rupees 55 crores.
