In a significant blow to drug trafficking networks in Northeast India, Cachar district police have scored a major victory with the arrest of three individuals in possession of 201 grams of high-purity heroin.
The operation, part of the ongoing anti-drug drive across Assam, unfolded when authorities received credible intelligence about drug peddling activities in the region. Acting swiftly on the tip-off, police teams conducted coordinated raids that led to the dramatic apprehension of the suspects.
Massive Haul Worth Lakhs
The confiscated heroin, with an estimated street value running into several lakhs of rupees, represents one of the substantial drug seizures in the area recently. Police officials confirmed the purity and quantity of the narcotic substance indicate connections to larger interstate smuggling operations.
Ongoing War Against Drugs
This successful operation underscores Assam Police's determined campaign against the narcotics trade that has been plaguing the region. The crackdown comes as part of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's zero-tolerance policy against drugs, which has seen multiple high-profile arrests and seizures across the state.
Local residents have welcomed the police action, expressing hope that continued vigilance will help protect youth from falling prey to drug addiction. Community leaders have called for sustained efforts to dismantle the entire supply chain behind such illegal activities.
Investigation into the case continues as authorities work to uncover the source of the drugs and identify potential links to larger interstate smuggling networks operating across Northeast India.
