Drones will be used by the police to keep a check on illegal cultivation of cannabis in Kullu district.
SP Sakshi Verma said, “We intend to wipe out cannabis cultivation from Kullu district. For this, the police will make use of drones in remote areas to check such plantation on forest or private land.”
“I have requested the higher authorities to provide additional force for keeping a check on the movement of drug traffickers,” the SP said.
“Our thrust will be on increasing surveillance in Parvati Valley, including Manikaran and Kasol areas. Strict vigil will also be maintained in Banjar, Ani, Nirmand, Patlikuhal and Manali areas… The registration of migrant labourers at nearby police stations will also be made mandatory,” the SP said.
