As Kuwait was the preferred destination for many unemployed persons going for unskilled jobs, the peddlers were sending ganja through them, the SP said.
The supply lines would be cut by arresting the peddlers and the demand would fall, Kadapa OSD (Operations) B. Satya Yesubabu said. Kurnool Range DIG B.V. Ramana Kumar and Kurnool SP A. Ravikrishna were present.
