In a significant blow to the narcotics trade, the Karbi Anglong Police in Assam have successfully seized a substantial quantity of morphine, weighing approximately 3.049 kilograms, during an anti-narcotics operation. The seized morphine is valued at around ₹3 crore, indicating the magnitude of the narcotics trade the operation has impacted.
Reports suggest that the morphine was recovered from a vehicle that was reportedly en route to Guwahati, highlighting the transit routes often used by drug traffickers. The operation, which was part of the Assam Police's ongoing efforts to combat narcotics, led to the arrest of one individual allegedly involved in drug trafficking.
Officials have commended the operation as a crucial step forward in the fight against drug trafficking in the region. The seizure not only underscores the commitment of the Assam Police to curbing the narcotics trade but also serves as a deterrent to those involved in such illegal activities.
