Assam: In a major blow to drug traffickers, Cachar police intercepted a vehicle near Dholai Police Station and seized a massive haul of narcotics worth an estimated Rs 14 crore. This marks one of the largest drug busts in the region this year, reflecting the intensified efforts of Assam Police to combat the growing drug menace in the state.
During the operation, officers recovered a staggering 40,000 YABA tablets and 260 grams of heroin. One suspect has been apprehended in connection with the seizure and is currently in police custody.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma lauded the police department’s swift action on social media, emphasizing that this operation is a significant step forward in the ongoing #AssamAgainstDrugs campaign. YABA, a highly addictive and dangerous drug containing a potent mix of methamphetamine and caffeine, has been wreaking havoc in Northeast India, and the state government has been actively working to curb its spread.
