Banned methamphetamine tablets valued at Rs 102.65 crore were seized in a significant operation by Assam Rifles in Mizoram's Champhai district, near the India-Myanmar border. The operation took place on Wednesday following a tip-off, with the paramilitary force confirming the seizure on Thursday.
Known locally as the 'crazy drug,' methamphetamine is banned in India due to its addictive properties and stimulant effects. An individual suspected of transporting these drugs evaded capture when confronted by the troops, abandoning the large cache in Zote village.
The discovery of 34.218 kg of methamphetamine tablets underscores the persistent efforts of Assam Rifles to curb narcotics trafficking along the border, emphasizing their commitment to safeguarding Indian youth from the perils of drug addiction.
