‘Politicians, police officers are forcing adivasis to grow the crop’
The CPI (Maoist) in a letter released on Wednesday denied statements made by police that they had links to ganja smuggling activities from the Agency areas of Visakhapatnam district and bordering tribal districts in neighbouring Odisha.
CPI (Maoist) spokesperson from AOBSZC, Ganesh, said in the letter that the police was trying to tarnish the ideology of the outfit by levelling false allegations that the ganja was being cultivated under the Maoists’ patronage and that they received a share of the profits.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
