In a series of coordinated operations throughout 2023-24, the Assam Rifles have made significant drug seizures across Tripura, Assam, and Manipur. The forces confiscated cannabis and heroin with a combined value of Rs 52.88 crores. These operations align with the Chief Minister’s vision of making Tripura ‘Nasha Mukt’—a drug-free state.
The seizures span multiple locations, highlighting the extensive efforts by the Assam Rifles to combat drug trafficking in the region. The contraband seized includes large quantities of cannabis and heroin, underscoring the scale of the drug trade that the forces are tackling. The combined value of the drugs seized reflects the seriousness of the operations and their impact on curbing illegal drug activities.
In Tripura, the Assam Rifles conducted several raids that led to substantial drug seizures. Similarly, operations in Assam and Manipur resulted in significant finds, demonstrating a coordinated strategy to disrupt drug supply chains across state borders. The successful interceptions and seizures are part of a broader effort to address drug abuse and trafficking in the northeastern states of India.
The Chief Minister’s goal of making Tripura a drug-free state is central to these operations. By targeting major drug trafficking routes and supply networks, the Assam Rifles support the state’s commitment to reducing drug availability and abuse. The ongoing efforts contribute to a larger public health and safety initiative aimed at safeguarding communities from the adverse effects of drug addiction.
The large-scale seizures also reflect the increased vigilance and effectiveness of the Assam Rifles in their anti-drug operations. The forces continue to work diligently to prevent drug trafficking and ensure that drug offenders are held accountable. The operations serve as a deterrent to those involved in the drug trade and reinforce the commitment of law enforcement agencies to maintaining security and public health.
As the year progresses, the Assam Rifles remain dedicated to their mission of combating drug trafficking and supporting the Chief Minister’s vision. Their successful operations and significant seizures highlight their crucial role in addressing the drug crisis in Tripura, Assam, and Manipur.
