Guwahati, Assam (October 6, 2024): The Assam Police have seized illegal drugs valued at ₹3 crore during a covert operation in the Karbi Anglong district, apprehending two individuals linked to the trafficking. Acting on credible intelligence, the police confiscated 1.5 kg of illegal narcotics, continuing their ongoing efforts to combat the drug menace in the state.
The successful operation was acknowledged by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who took to the microblogging platform X to commend the Karbi Anglong police. “In a covert operation based on credible intelligence, @karbianglongpol apprehended two individuals today and seized 1.5 kg of illegal drugs valued at ₹3 crores.
