00:00The investigation into the murder of Afim is ongoing in the Khoti area of the district.
00:07So far, around 1300 acres of land has been destroyed by the Khoti police.
00:12But the local villagers have destroyed more than 125 acres of land in fear of the police.
00:22Recently, the DGP sat with the Khoti police and the Ranchi police and ordered the police of both the districts to destroy the crop of Afim in the area.
00:32Otherwise, a strict legal action will be taken.
00:35Since then, the Khoti police have been in full swing and have already intensified the campaign to destroy Afim in the area.
00:44We will get to know from the DSP of Khoti Anumandal what is happening and how the Khoti police are working during the campaign.
00:50Because this campaign is going on in these five police stations under his leadership.
00:55Sir, first of all, how many Afims have you destroyed according to the police report?
01:01The Khoti police are continuously investigating the destruction of Afim.
01:06So far, around 1300 acres of land has been destroyed.
01:11The special thing about this is that the villagers themselves have taken action against the destruction of Afim.
01:16Or according to the notice given by the NDPS, there have been some other investigations.
01:25The village head has also been arrested in Saikot police station.
01:28According to all this, the villagers themselves are also destroying Afim.
01:31So far, more than 125 acres of land has been destroyed by the villagers.
01:35And according to the investigation, around 18 arrests have been made in Afim this year.
01:43Sir, how are you getting help from the local people in difficult times?
01:46Arresting the Khoti police is also considered a challenge in this Anumandal area.
01:51So how is it possible to make 18 arrests in such a situation?
01:55As per the notice given by the NDPS, the village head and the chief have been arrested since the beginning of this year.
02:01In addition to this, public awareness has been spread in all police stations.
02:04Through various mediums, through various platforms, Afim farming is illegal.
02:08Their side effects, financial, physical, mental, their negative effects have been told.
02:14Due to this, public awareness has spread.
02:16So the villagers have also been helped in this.
02:18In addition to this, the police investigation, we go there and destroy Afim farming.
02:22And the villagers who are caught in the farm, doing farming or doing some work, we arrest them.
02:30Some opposition remains light, but after explaining, the villagers are also accepting this.
02:35Afim farming is illegal.
02:37It is a crime.
02:38It is also wrong.
02:39That is why some help has been given to the villagers.
02:41Sir, it has been seen in the present that a few days ago, after the arrest of the village head,
02:45the police station, the chief and the village head reached in large numbers.
02:49So how did you communicate with them?
02:52How did you explain to them?
02:54And how are they doing Afim farming in the area today?
02:57A village head was arrested in Saikot police station.
03:00After that, the head of the village around Agalwal had come to the police station.
03:05They were explained.
03:07The effect of Afim farming and the legal grounds that have been told to them.
03:12They have also accepted this.
03:15The villagers who have done Afim farming due to lack of information or for some other reason,
03:19they had taken two days.
03:21And after two days, they themselves have been arrested in many villages.
03:25Yesterday also, the villagers in Saikot police station have been arrested.
03:29Sir, there are many panchayats in this Pachod Thana area.
03:32Almost information is received that the local representatives were involved in Afim farming.
03:37So sir, in such a situation, how will you put pressure on the local representatives,
03:40so that the rest of the villagers can get out of the farm?
03:43Afim farming is illegal.
03:45Whether it is the village head, the village head or any other department,
03:51whether it is a worker or an official,
03:53we are continuing the investigation against the illegal farming.
03:56We have also received instructions from above.
03:59In addition, there are also regular meetings at the district level.
04:02Everyone is being told that whoever is involved in this,
04:05they should stay away from it, otherwise legal proceedings will definitely take place.
04:07Sir, have you investigated such people?
04:10This investigation is ongoing.
04:13Sir, one last question.
04:15In this Pachod Thana area, in more than 5000 acres,
04:19Afim mafia or the local villagers have planted Afim farms.
04:24So now it can be said that 10-11% of Afim has been destroyed by the Khoti police.
04:30So according to this, how big a challenge can it be to destroy other farms?
04:34Because there is very little time.
04:35We are still investigating the destruction of Afim farms through the available resources.
04:40In addition, we have also demanded that we may get more resources.
04:46As we have received the department's instructions,
04:48more resources will be provided to us and we will invest in it.
04:51In addition, public awareness is being spread.
04:54Through public awareness, the villagers themselves are also taking action against Afim farming.
05:00So we think that we will be able to control it to a great extent.
05:05We will be able to continue the investigation against Afim farming.
05:08This is Khoti DSP Varun Kumar.
05:10He has clearly said that this investigation is ongoing according to the available resources.
05:15And whatever destruction has been done so far,
05:17it can be said that it is available for the Khoti police.
05:20It can also be said that due to the lack of resources,
05:23the Khoti police were left behind in destroying Afim on a large scale.
05:28But the claim is that the crops of Afim in these areas will be destroyed soon.
