Jammu May 13: Days after Early Times carried a news on cultivation of opium despite government ban on such cultivation, revenue officials under the supervision of Tehsildar Drabshalla Shoiab Latief along with police team from Police Post Drabshalla today destroyed the crop in Saroor and Badhat areas of Kishtwar District.
Reports said, the tehsildar concerned took cognizance of Early Times news and activated its ground staff including Patwaris of concern Patwar Halqa.
The revenue team destroyed Poppy cultivation on approximately 10 kanal of land and warn the people about violation of government ban on cultivation of Poppy.
