On Thursday, Tengnoupal Battalion of 26 Sector Assam Rifles successfully seized a huge cache of contraband drugs worth Rs 7 crores near Khudengthabi in Tengnoupal District of Manipur.
The team launched this operation on a specific tip about carriage of contraband drugs through the jungle track. The team noticed some suspicious movement on the jungle track and intercepted an individual too. The team was able to recover two bags containing 7.740 kgs of WY tablets and 690 grams of Brown Sugar. However, that individual was able to flee inside the jungle.
In the recent press release, Assam rifles said, “The socio-political and economic ramifications of the ongoing illegal drug trade are a major cause of concern as it is working like the Gateway of India to Southeast Asia. Assam Rifles rightly christened as the ‘Sentinels of Northeast’ have launched a crusade against the illicit drug smuggling and seized drugs worth Rs 49.174 crores till date”.
