Sitamarhi police destroyed seized cannabis on 29 October 2026 under the Nashamukt Bihar Abhiyan, the state’s drug-free Bihar campaign.[1] Superintendent of Police Amit Ranjan ordered the formal destruction of illegal drugs held at police stations across the district.[1] The action followed a court order and the prescribed standard operating procedure, and other senior officers were present.[1] Sitamarhi Police said the superintendent directed that day’s compliance with the standard operating procedure for drugs seized in cases at various stations in the district.[2]
Police figures put the destroyed amount at 3,656.953 kilograms of ganja and 33.528 kilograms of charas, or cannabis resin, together 3,690.481 kilograms.[1] The same weights were given in the district police statement posted that afternoon.[2] The consignments had been recovered in separate police cases and were destroyed only after the legal process was finished, at stations in the district, with safety standards observed.[1]
The administration said the process would continue strictly so that the illegal drug trade could be stopped.[1] Police said the anti-drug campaign would be intensified to keep the younger generation out of addiction, and that destruction after raids and seizures was meant to break traffickers’ morale.[1] After Bihar’s liquor prohibition, police have also been taking continuous action against other intoxicants.[1]
