The Story in Brief
Small-time ganja sellers in Telangana are changing meeting points frequently and carrying smaller quantities as police intensify action against drug networks, Telangana Today reports. Sellers reportedly source supplies from Nagpur, Odisha, Bidar, Nanded, Bihar and elsewhere, then use scooters, motorcycles or handbags to distribute them.
They contact customers through Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms, stay at a location for 15 to 20 minutes and move after a few sales. Some reportedly finish within two to three hours, while changing phone numbers and maintaining multiple accounts. Police have also observed women and young girls accompanying sellers, possibly to avoid suspicion. Officials said smaller consignments have made detection harder, despite disruption to bulk supply networks.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that police action has dismantled Telangana’s ganja trade look premature, while the opposite claim that enforcement is futile is just as sweeping. The reported shift to small consignments and brief meetings suggests pressure on wholesalers, but also a harder street-level problem. Social-media accounts, phone changes and repeat meeting points offer practical leads if agencies coordinate across districts. The useful test is whether arrests and seizures continue after sellers change locations, not whether one crackdown produces headlines.
