The article says the burning took place 'yesterday'; 5 November 2026 is taken from the 6 November publication date.
The report gives no exact date, time or named court order for the burning.
The figures differ from an earlier account of the Avadi and Tambaram disposals, which cited 906.654 kg for Avadi and 810 kg for Tambaram and publishes no 1,818 kg four-unit total; the discrepancy is unresolved.
The 10 crore rupee value is police's own estimate and is not broken down by unit.
The total may separately include other drugs seized in the same cases, since the article speaks of 'drugs' worth 10 crore; only the ganja weight is recorded as cannabis.
No arrests, charges or court outcomes for the underlying cases were reported.
Only one account of this destruction was found; the plant's role is described only by this outlet.
The page photo is captioned only as destruction of drugs worth 10 crore rupees and is not established to show this particular burning.
