The Navy said that 131 kilos 800 grams of Kerala Ganja found in Thondamanaru in Jaffna valued at 39 million rupees were burned and destroyed yesterday. 

 
On a patrol conducted by a group of officers of the Northern Naval Area on 22 May in Thondamanaru area, this stock of Kerala Ganja has been discovered when checking four fertiliser bags abandoned in the beach.
