Officers of the West Zone of the Raipur Police Commissionerate arrested one person in a ganja-trafficking case and seized 1.724 kilograms of ganja from that person’s possession.[1] They registered one case under the NDPS Act, India’s narcotics law, for illegal trade in narcotic drugs, and the police account headed the case as ganja trafficking.[1] The arrest came in a special campaign against criminals and anti-social elements, run so that peace and public order could be kept ahead of festivals.[1]
The campaign ran from 4 to 10 November 2026.[1] It was directed by Deputy Commissioner of Police (West Zone) Robinson Guria and monitored by Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Rahul Dev Sharma.[1] Police teams from the station areas of Purani Basti, DD Nagar, Amanaka, Azad Chowk, Saraswati Nagar, Kabir Nagar, New Rajendra Nagar, Tikrapara and Mujgahan carried out the actions.[1] Amrit Sandesh reported the same West Zone campaign from 4 to 10 November, in which police arrested 91 people, executed 52 warrants and took preventive action against 135 people.[2]
Police said the wider drive produced 91 arrests in all, of which the ganja case was the only one they described as a narcotics offence.[1] The other arrests were 73 people in 22 gambling cases, nine people in nine illegal-liquor cases and eight people under the Arms Act, and those figures are not cannabis seizures.[1] In the liquor cases police said they seized 75.24 litres of liquor, and in the arms cases seven knives and one country-made pistol.[1] Police also said they executed 13 standing warrants and 39 arrest warrants, 52 in all, and took preventive action against 135 people suspected of disturbing peace.[1] West Zone police said keeping peace and public order in the city was their first priority and that action of this kind would continue, with patrols and checks through the festivals.[1]
