On January 9, 2025, a joint operation between the Diglipur Police and the Agriculture Department led to a major breakthrough in the region. A raid was conducted at a warehouse in Sri Vijaya Puram, where authorities uncovered large quantities of illegally imported fertilisers. These fertilisers, being substandard, posed a potential risk to agricultural productivity and could have led to economic losses for local farmers.
This proactive raid reflects the police’s dedication to preventing fraudulent activities that could harm the agricultural community. The seized goods were destroyed, and investigations continue into the network behind the illegal importation. This operation emphasizes the importance of safeguarding both the economy and public health in rural areas of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
