The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has seized 702 kg of ganja worth Rs 3 crore and arrested two men from Maharashtra's Gondia district, an official said on Friday.
Acting on specific intelligence, the NCB intercepted Prakash M D and Padamlal N M travelling in a truck, and found ganja concealed in 100 packets hidden among grocery items like detergent, toothpaste and hair dye, it said.
The contraband had been sourced from Odisha and was meant for drug syndicates in Nagpur, Gondia, Pune and Mumbai, the NCB said.
The arrested men regularly transported bulk quantities of ganja from Odisha to Maharashtra, as per the preliminary probe.
In April, the NCB had seized 210 kg of ganja brought from Odisha and arrested four persons.
The agency appealed to citizens to report drug-related activities through MANAS, the National Narcotics Helpline, on toll-free number 1933, assuring that the identity of informants would be kept confidential.
