In a significant move to tackle the growing menace of ganja cultivation and related crimes, the Andhra Pradesh government has decided to deploy drones in full scale for surveillance and identification of illegal cannabis plantations. This technological intervention is part of the state's larger strategy to address the root cause of drug-related offenses and enhance public safety.
