AGARTALA, Oct 24 (TIWN): Evenafter so many anti-cannabis laws, Ganja gardens’ abolishment, there is no fear among the illegal traders.

The reason has been identified as lack of proper legal actions against the illegal ganja traders across Tripura. Tripura Police only arrested one person in last year 2016-17 whereas there are reports of 17,60,195 illegal Ganja plants' abolishment.

Lack of legal actions has not only raised question about ruling govt's goodwill to reduce illegal trades and clean Tripura from Ganja-addiction, but it has raised question upon the role of Police in it.

However, to avoid increasing number of crimes, pending cases and to avoid hard works for FIRs no initiative has been taken against them.

 Vote-Bank; which is a huge matter for all the political parties has bound Tripura ruling govt to be silent in this issue. To get remark as a peaceful state, the govt has always avoided to take legal action against illegal business including Chit-Fund cases too.
