Sonepur: In a major haul linked to a crackdown on illegal activities during the ongoing twin elections in Odisha, Sonepur police seized over 3.75 quintals of cannabis, with an estimated street value exceeding Rs 37 lakh. Two individuals from Madhya Pradesh were arrested in the operation.

Acting on a tip-off, a special police team intercepted a container truck near the Collectorate. A thorough search of the vehicle led to the discovery of the hidden cannabis stash.
