(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) In a shocking revelation, cannabis plants have been discovered thriving in the Attur Cemetery in Yelahanka, Bengaluru. This discovery has led to an ongoing Police investigation, as authorities scramble to address the issue of illegal cannabis cultivation in the area.
Reports suggest that the presence of these cannabis plants is not merely coincidental. Instead, it appears that the cemetery has become an unexpected hub for cannabis cultivation, primarily due to the high demand and the difficulty in purchasing marijuana. This situation has been exacerbated by the local addiction issues, with some individuals reportedly turning to cultivating their cannabis as an alternative to sourcing it illegally.
