A plan has been devised to destroy marijuana cultivation in Andhra Pradesh with the help of drones, the State government said.

Using the services of drones, officials have already destroyed marijuana (ganja) cultivation spread across over three acres of land in the Anakapalli district.

“The Andhra Pradesh government will unveil a programme to use drones equipped with multi-spectral cameras to identify up to 3 ft tall marijuana plants,” a government press release said.
