“Konaseema district has one de-addiction centre at Amalapuram. Plans are afoot to set up similar facilities in every mandal headquarters,” said the Collector. 

The police, education and health departments have been instructed to keep an eye on educational institutes, bus services and hostels. Superintendent of Police Ch. Sudheer Kumar Reddy sought support from all government departments to prevent the transportation, sale and consumption of ganja.
