Multiple web search results report that Pakistani police conducted anti-narcotics operations, specifically mentioning the destruction of opium poppy fields in the Mohmand district of northwestern Pakistan.

The claim that police used sticks to cut down and uproot plants in Mohmand district is supported by a web search result referencing footage showing this action near the Afghan border. While the evidence is drawn from a single descriptive source (Euronews video description), the context of the operation (Mohmand, Afghan border, uprooting) is consistent across multiple search results describing the crackdown.

Multiple web search results reference footage or descriptions of the operation showing police and villagers involved in pulling plants from the ground. One source explicitly mentions this footage, and another source referencing the operation's context supports the activity described.

Multiple web search results confirm that the anti-narcotics campaigns in the Mohmand district are explicitly stated to be aimed at curbing drug production.

The claim that local farmers rely on poppy cultivation due to poverty and lack of basic services is directly stated in a web search result that combines this information with the poppy destruction reports.

Multiple web search results confirm that the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government is pushing alternative crops to farmers in the tribal districts, aiming to eradicate poppy farming. The context implies that these alternatives are part of a governmental initiative to replace poppy cultivation.
