The City Task Force (CTF) wing and Anandapuram Police intercepted two vehicles, transporting a massive 80 kg shipment of ganja at Boyapalem junction in Vizag on Tuesday. The joint effort resulted in the arrest of four individuals, the seizure of two vehicles, and the confiscation of six cell phones.

Visakha Deputy Commissioner of Police-1, Law and Order (DCP), Vijay Manikanta provided details of the operation in a media conference conducted at the Ananadapuram Police Station. He stated that the authorities acted on a tip-off indicating that two cars were en route to Boyapalem, with a shipment coming from Pottangi, Koraput district, Odisha state. Acting on their information, the police strategically stopped traffic signals upon learning that the vehicles were approaching Boyapalem Junction. The DCP explained that this was done to prevent the cars from getting away, as they would be forced to stop along with other vehicles on the road.
