Published

on

A special search operation conducted by the Navy on the Delft Island, Jaffna on Thursday (15) led to the recovery of more than 729kg (wet weight) of Kendu leaves. The consignment of Kendu leaves, which is believed to be smuggled, was found on the beach area of the Delft Island.

It is suspected that smugglers might have left behind this supply of Kendu leaves, as they were unable to transport it due to regular naval presence in the area. The stock of Kendu leaves has been kept safe in the Navy’s custody until it is produced for onward legal proceedings.
