Police on Sunday seized over 500 kg ganja from a godown near Kudsad village in Gujarat's Surat district and arrested one person, an official said.
The godown is located in an industrial area, he said, adding that the operation was carried out by the Local Crime Branch and Special Operations Group.
The value of the seizure is estimated to be more than Rs 50 lakh, he said.
