DRUG.
Drug is a small village of only 77 inhabitants in Yavatmal tahsil situated 24.14 km (about 15 miles) east of Yavatmal and six miles south of Kalamb. It contains extensive ruins of an old Gond fort, well situated among hills and much strengthened artificially. The fort is formed of a roughly circular hill from five to six hundred feet high, and about a mile in circumference at the top. A trench has been thrown round the hill about 50 feet from the top. Walls have also been raised in places. On the top there is a depression which formerly contained a tank and there is also a ruined temple. The fort is now covered with dense jungle and is a favourite resort of panthers, bears and pigs. The Drug tank has recently been repaired by the Irrigation Department and its water tapped for irrigating agricultural land.
