The poppy plants were grown in  around 50 agriculture fields with the cardamom and others vegetables by the opium addicts for self consumption as well as for commercial purposes in the far flung areas of Kamhua Noknu about 33 km from Longding headquarter.

The sole motive behind the concept of completely uprooting the poppy plants from the soil of K.Noknu is to save the village population from opium menace because its addiction has set serious  grave in the society with antagonistic impression in the eyes of younger generations.

A case under section NDPS Act has been registered in this regard.
