Chhattisgarh Police Exposes MDMA-Ganja Barter System, Busts Major Interstate Drug Ring

• Chhattisgarh Police's 'Operation Nishchal' led to the arrest of Shubham Raju Dhavade in Raipur and seizure of MDMA worth 3.5 lakh.
• Over 80 drug traffickers arrested in Raipur; most drugs originate from Maharashtra, where large synthetic drug factories operate.
• A 'barter system' exists: MDMA from Nagpur, Ganja from Odisha, both trafficked through Chhattisgarh.
• Synthetic drugs like MDMA/Mephedrone are easily and cheaply produced, yielding huge profits (e.g., 12,000 rupees chemicals -> 2 crore rupees drugs).
• Durg Police seized 388 kg ganja, registered 300 cases, and arrested members of Nagpur's Ippa and Dham gangs, intensifying action against interstate drug networks.

Why It Matters: Chhattisgarh Police busts a major interstate drug network, exposing a unique MDMA-Ganja barter system.
