SILCHAR: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma commended the Assam Police for their ongoing efforts to combat illegal drug trafficking, following a substantial drug bust valued at Rs. 1.5 crore in two separate operations conducted by Cachar Police on March 2.
In a post on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), CM Sarma highlighted the police’s swift actions, stating, “In two separate operations, drugs worth Rs 1.50 crore were recovered by @cacharpolice. In a source-based operation, two vehicles were intercepted, leading to the recovery of 310 grams of heroin. Excellent work, @assampolice.”
The operations were launched on the basis of intelligence reports regarding the transportation of narcotics in Assam’s Cachar district. Police were able to intercept two vehicles, and 310 grams of heroin were seized, which is estimated to be worth more than Rs. 1.5 crore on the street value. The authorities apprehended the suspects involved, and investigations are ongoing to identify and dismantle the broader network of drug suppliers.
The Assam government has once again demonstrated its commitment to eliminate drug-related crimes, prioritizing stronger enforcement and more border crossings monitoring to prevent the smuggling of narcotics into the state. The operation reflects the government’s determination to eradicate the drug menace and provide security to its people.
