The Story in Brief
More than 100 police personnel conducted a cordon-and-search operation in Angallu village, Annamayya district, early Saturday, targeting the sale of ganja and narcotics. Superintendent of Police Dheeraj Kunubilli said the drive was aimed at groups allegedly involved in selling ganja and prohibited tobacco products.
Teams searched streets and houses, seizing vehicles without documents for verification. The SP said the heightened police presence was intended to curb illegal activities centred around Angallu. The operation covered suspected locations and was part of a special drive against drug and tobacco sales, with house-to-house checks creating a strong police presence. Kunubilli said the extensive deployment of personnel was meant to crack down on alleged illegal activities.
The Indian Opinion
Such raids often make headlines but leave supply chains intact when follow-up is weak. The absence of reported arrests or large seizures suggests this was more about show of force than dismantling networks. The real test will be how many chargesheets are filed with evidence of sales, not just possession.
