Cannabis Cultivation Spreads to Hyderabad Residential Areas, Alarming Police

Cannabis cultivation, once confined to border and agency regions, is now emerging inside Hyderabad’s residential neighborhoods. Law enforcement and excise officials have seized thousands of cannabis plants grown in backyards, balconies, rooftops, and even indoor setups. Driven by high market prices in the city, residents and small-time peddlers are increasingly turning to local cultivation. Authorities have intensified raids and warned that growing marijuana is a serious offence under the NDPS Act, carrying severe penalties.
