BANGALORE, Aug 16: The place looks like any penurious hutment in the City. But the business of the residents is lucrative. Visitors to the slum behind the new Jayadeva Indstitute of Cardiology hospital complex off Banerghatta Road will find the slum dwellers cleaning raw ganja, reportedly procured from Kerala, weighting and packing it into polythene sachets of 20 grams each.
