The seized contraband is worth approximately Rs 85 lakhs. It was sourced from Ganjam, Odisha, and was destined for further distribution to peddlers in Mumbai, Surat and other adjoining areas, according to NCB officials.

NCB was actively working on an input wherein an inter-state syndicate was conspiring to supply high-quality Ganja into the city. The syndicate had planned the urgent supply for replenishment to the local drug peddlers due to recent enforcement activities leading to a number of successful seizures by the agencies.
