In a significant bust on New Year’s Eve, Assam Police uncovered 153 grams of heroin concealed within 13 soap cases in a high-profile operation aimed at curbing drug trafficking in the region. This operation underscores the vigilance and effectiveness of Assam’s law enforcement agencies in tackling illegal drug trade, especially during times when criminal activities are known to spike.
The heroin, worth several lakhs of rupees, was discovered during a routine check on the Silchar-Imphal road near Haokip Punji. Police, acting on a tip-off, conducted a thorough search of the vehicle and found the drugs cleverly hidden within the soap cases. The operation was carried out by a team of dedicated officers from the narcotics control unit, who are constantly working to intercept drugs that enter the state and disrupt the illegal drug networks operating across the region.
Assam Police, along with other law enforcement agencies, has been intensifying efforts to combat the growing drug trade, especially in border areas, which are often used as entry points for contraband. The seizure of heroin is part of ongoing operations to protect the citizens of Assam from the harmful effects of substance abuse and dismantle the criminal syndicates behind the drug trade.
The police have arrested the individuals involved in this trafficking attempt, and an investigation is underway to track the sources and larger networks behind the operation. Assam Police has assured the public that such operations will continue to ensure the safety and well-being of its citizens, demonstrating their commitment to maintaining law and order.
With the growing concern over drug-related crimes in the region, this successful operation sends a strong message that Assam Police will not tolerate drug trafficking and will continue to step up their efforts in combating the menace.
