Nayagarh: Central Excise Intelligence officials seized 30 quintals of ganja at Ragadimada under Odagaon police limits in Nayagarh district on Friday. Two persons were arrested in connection with the seizure.
Acting on specific information, the excise intelligence officials intercepted a pick-up van and seized 75 sacks containing the contraband.
The value of the seized ganja is estimated to be around Rs 1 crore.
The huge amount of ganja was stored in an underground area of the house of a woman. The drug was being loaded and about to be transported to somewhere when the raid was conducted, sources said.
