Stating that ganja sale had spread at the village level also, he underlined the need to improve communication system from field level constables to officials to root out the menace. The police should mingle with the people that would help in getting information from them, he added. After arrest of ganja peddlers and seizing the narcotics, police officials should take up in depth investigation to get to the root of the illegal business, he added.

As a part of a drive to turn Nalgonda into a ganja-free district, the police should frequently take up search of pan shops and kirana stores. He made it clear that political interference in ganja cases would not be tolerated and that police should act seriously on ganja smuggling and sale.
