In a concerted effort to combat illegal poppy cultivation, law enforcement agencies in Manipur have eradicated more than 470 acres of poppy plantations across the region.

The operation extended across several districts, culminating in the destruction of 436 acres of poppy in Ukhrul and the incineration of 51 makeshift huts used in the plantation process.
