- The Jharkhand Police has adopted a unique initiative to check opium cultivation among the state's rural population, naming it the "Chocolate War."
- Under the initiative, police personnel visit weekly village markets and distribute chocolates in wrappers containing information about the legal repercussions of opium cultivation.
- Notably, the state's Khunti district is among the worst affected, where opium has become a 'major crop.'
- Large scale cultivation of opium is done in Arki, Sayko, Murhu and Maranghada aras of Khunti.
- Apart from Khunti, the districts of Ranchi, Hazaribagh, Latehar, Palamu, and Chatra have also become fertile grounds for the "opium mafia."
