Navy seizes Kerala cannabis worth over Rs. 28 million

A stock of Kerala cannabis around 96kgs were seized by the Sri Lanka Navy during a special foot patrol conducted in the beach area of Nagarkovil today.

Accordingly, the Northern Naval Command during a special foot patrol in the Nagarkovil beach area took hold of this stock of Kerala cannabis in 03 gunny sacks (weighing about 96 kg) abandoned in bushes close to the beach.
