Security forces have eradicated poppy cultivation across eight acres in Arunachal Pradesh's Longding district. The operation took place near the India-Myanmar border villages of Votnu and Khasa. Drones aided the surveillance and survey efforts. No cases were filed against growers due to their lack of awareness regarding the illegality. Villagers will receive education on drug dangers and sustainable farming alternatives.
