Over the past few weeks, the police and security agencies have destroyed hundreds  of acres of illicit poppy plantations spread across the districts of Kangpokpi, Churachandpur, Ukhrul, and Senapati. The operations often involve coordinated efforts by the state police, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), and district magistrates.

Despite facing resistance from locals who sometimes rely on poppy cultivation for livelihood, the state government has maintained a firm stance, emphasizing the long-term harm posed by illegal drug networks and environmental degradation caused by poppy cultivation.

The anti-drug drive has intensified in recent weeks  with law enforcement agencies employing drone surveillance and advanced mapping techniques to locate hidden poppy fields.
