Koraput: Ganja worth Rs 1 crore was seized from Baler village under Machkund police limits in Odisha Koraput district on Monday.
According to sources, police teams from Lamtaput and Machkunda recovered ganja over 1300 kg (cannabis) packed in 58 gunny bags during the joint raid on a building under construction in the village. Two traders purportedly dealing with the consignment fled the spot before police could nab them.
