The raids are given two dates: Disha Daily says the Konapur field was raided on 26 October 2026 and Eenadu says both incidents happened on the 27th; the report uses 26 October, the date of the earliest detailed account.
ClickTelugu says the Ankenapalli plants and dried ganja were seized at a house, while Eenadu says the grower cultivated 15 plants in his house compound; Disha Daily gives 10 plants there, and this report uses Disha Daily's count.
The accounts give a combined 65 plants with 10 at Ankenapalli and 55 at Konapur, or 70 with Eenadu's 15; the text states both.
The dried ganja is reported only as 150 grams, with no weight published for the uprooted plants, which the sources say were seized rather than destroyed.
No source says whether a court has given any sentence, so only the remand is reported.
No street value was published for the seized plants or ganja.
The same roundups report unrelated events in Sangareddy district, including a Goa–Hyderabad gang caught with MDMA and cocaine and a 1.2 kg raid on a dairy farm at Kardanoor on 1 November, the latter already recorded separately, and those are left out of this report.
The submitted Eenadu page does not date these raids beyond saying the 27th of the month, and its publication date is 10 November 2026.
