मराठीत सारांश

# थोडक्यात:
उत्पादन शुल्क आयुक्त यांनी district officers लाई order दिला आहे — Poppy-2 license धारकांच्या खेतांचा शारीरिक तपास करायचा आणि त्यांच्या नोंदींची जाँच करायची. कोणी अनाधिकृत खेती करतोय किंवा rules तोडतोय तर कारवाई करायची.

## विस्तारित समजावून:

**हा circular काय आहे?**
NDPS Act अंतर्गत अफू (poppy) च्या खेतीला परवाना दिला जातो. आता state excise commissioner यांना संशय आहे की काही license holders नियमांचे पालन करत नाहीत किंवा अवैध खेती करत आहेत. त्यामुळे जिल्हा officers लाई तपास करायचा आदेश दिला आहे.

**काय करायचं?**

• **लाइसन्स शोधा** — तुमच्या जिल्ह्यात कुठे Poppy-2 license आहे हे शोधून काढा

• **शेत पहा** — license holder च्या वास्तविक खेतीचा तपास करा. किती जमीन वापरत आहे? अफूचे झाड किती आहे?

• **नोंदी तपास** — license holder जी नोंदी ठेवत आहे (खेतीचा क्षेत्र, उत्पादन, संचय) ती सत्य आहे का?

• **कायद्याचे पालन** — NDPS Act च्या सर्व शर्तींचे पालन झालं का?

• **कारवाई** — जर उल्लंघन मिळाला तर कायदेशीर कारवाई सुरू करा.

**महत्व:** अफू साठी हे कडक नियम आहेत. कोणी अवैध अफू वाढवू शकत नाही किंवा बाजारात विक्रय करू शकत नाही. हा circular त्या नियमांचे पालन सुनिश्चित करतो.
