In a major anti-drug operation, Assam Police, in collaboration with Tripura authorities, destroyed cannabis plants worth ₹3.5 crore. The plants were part of an illegal cultivation operation that had been operating in remote areas near the Tripura-Assam border. The destruction of these plants is part of Assam Police’s continued efforts to combat drug cultivation and trafficking in the region.
The seized cannabis was reportedly set to be processed and distributed across northeastern states, potentially fueling the drug trade. By eliminating these crops, Assam Police is not only reducing the availability of illicit drugs but also sending a strong message to cultivators and traffickers involved in the illegal narcotics trade.
