Arunachal Pradesh police have successfully cracked down on a major illegal drug trade operation in the West Kameng region, leading to the arrest of multiple individuals involved in the illicit trafficking of narcotics. The police action followed a tip-off regarding a significant network operating in the region, which was believed to be smuggling drugs across the state and beyond. During the operation, officers seized large quantities of contraband, including heroin and methamphetamine, worth several lakhs on the black market.
This bust is part of the state’s ongoing efforts to curb the growing drug problem, which has been linked to rising addiction rates among local youth. The arrested individuals are currently under investigation, and authorities are hopeful that this bust will lead to the dismantling of the broader drug network operating in the region. Police have also promised to continue their efforts to break the drug trade cycle, with a particular focus on intercepting the flow of drugs at border points and cracking down on local suppliers.
