Breaking significant ground in anti-narcotics warfare, Assam Rifles orchestrated precision strikes in Mizoram, amassing drugs worth over Rs 7.28 crore, and in Manipur, thwarting an explosives racket with two detentions.
Champhai’s Ngur patrol, intel-driven, stopped a China-sourced bike. Deep frisking unearthed 2.2 kg top-grade methamphetamine tabs (Rs 6.6 crore estimate). Perpetrator Lalhmangaihuala joined the haul in custody, routed to Champhai narcotics cell.
The second Mizoram sweep in Jote zeroed in on a vehicle, yielding 80.8 gm heroin (Rs 68.25 lakh) under Lal Thanpuia’s control. Vehicle, drugs, and man were processed for legal action.
These procurements affirm Assam Rifles’ iron resolve against trafficking plaguing Indo-Myanmar edges, per defense notes.
Manipur’s checkpost saw high-tension chase after abandoners fled in Bolero. Captured duo yielded 30 gelatin sticks, 20 detonators, fuses, wires, cash (Rs 1L), and the ride—prime IED components.
Disrupting such consignments curtails militancy and narco-terror links. Assam Rifles’ multi-pronged strategy fortifies regional stability.
As Northeast grapples with addiction epidemics, these operations signal escalating enforcement. Future campaigns promise sustained pressure on syndicates.
