Bijal, Tripura, Oct 3, 2025: In a significant anti-drug initiative, Bijal Police have destroyed approximately 45,000 cannabis plants in a major crackdown. The operation is part of the ongoing efforts by the newly inaugurated Bijal Police Station to establish a drug-free state. Since taking charge as the first Station Officer nearly four months ago, Jugal Kishore Tripura has led the police in a series of successful anti-drug operations, achieving around 20 notable successes. On Friday, acting on confidential information, Bijal Police, along with TSR and BSF personnel, carried out a coordinated operation across several locations under Khwai Sub-Division’s international border area of Khenrabarhi BOP.

The joint operation successfully eradicated these plants,” stated SO Jugal Tripura. The successful operation has been hailed as a significant step toward combating drug cultivation in the region, and the police have assured that such operations will continue in the future.
