KABUL, July 8 (Xinhua) -- Police launched operations to destroy hashish farms in northern Afghanistan's Badakhshan province on Monday, provincial police spokesman Ehsanullah Kamgar said Tuesday.
The campaign formally began from Wardoj and Darayem districts, the official said, adding the drive would last until the province becomes free of all illegal crops, including hashish and poppy.
In line with the directives of the leadership of the interim government, police would do their best to strictly check the cultivation of illegal crops, including poppy and hashish, processing of drugs and drug trafficking, the official emphasized. ■
