On January 10, 2025, a joint operation by the Assam Rifles and Mizoram Police resulted in the arrest of two Myanmarese nationals in the Siaha District of Mizoram. The operation uncovered an attempt to smuggle foreign currency worth ₹1.48 crore into India. This coordinated effort highlights the growing vigilance and collaboration between security forces to combat cross-border crimes in the northeastern region.
Cross-border smuggling remains a significant concern for Mizoram due to its proximity to Myanmar. Operations like this underscore the commitment of law enforcement agencies to prevent illegal activities that threaten the region’s security. The Mizoram Police have urged citizens to report any suspicious activities and remain alert to ensure safety and lawfulness in the community.
