Partition cuts the Naogaon ganja trade

The partition of India and Pakistan split the Naogaon ganja tract and disrupted its markets. Recorded output fell from about 170 tonnes in 1947 to about 21 tonnes, as growers, traders and excise officials were separated by the new border.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Bangladesh here.
