Odisha Police have successfully foiled a large-scale smuggling operation at the Paradip Port, one of the busiest ports in the state. Acting on a tip-off, the police, in coordination with the Customs Department, intercepted a container shipment that was loaded with illicit goods, including illegal drugs and counterfeit items. The police seized the contraband and arrested several individuals involved in the operation.
This operation highlights the commitment of Odisha Police in combating organized crime and ensuring the security of critical infrastructure. Authorities are now expanding their surveillance efforts at ports and transit points to prevent such illegal activities, as smuggling remains a significant concern in the region. Investigations are underway to identify the larger network behind this operation.
