Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed the seizure on his official X handle, saying, “Still think you can outrun Assam Police? One peddler has been caught in this #AssamAgainstDrugs drive.”
Police officials said the operation is part of a sustained effort to dismantle drug networks across the state. “Yaba, which contains methamphetamine and caffeine, is a major threat to the youth of Assam,” said a senior officer. Legal procedures are currently underway against the arrested peddler.
Earlier this week, Kamrup police intercepted a vehicle smuggling narcotics from Churachandpur in Manipur, recovering 910 grams of heroin concealed in 74 soap boxes hidden inside door panels and the rear compartment.
