Police in Orang, Assam, have apprehended two women in connection with the seizure of a significant quantity of suspected heroin. The arrests were made following an operation that led to the recovery of 90.16 grams of the illicit substance, marking another step in the state's ongoing battle against narcotics.
The two individuals were taken into custody in Orang, a town within the Darrang district, as authorities continue their intensified crackdown on drug-related activities. While specific operational details were not immediately disclosed, officials confirmed both the seizure and the arrests, reinforcing the government's firm stance against those involved in the illegal drug trade. The recovered substance is currently undergoing forensic analysis to confirm its exact composition.
Assam has been actively grappling with a surge in drug-related crimes, prompting Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's administration to declare an all-out war against this menace. Such seizures, even of quantities like this, are considered crucial in disrupting the supply chain and dismantling networks that exploit vulnerable communities across the state. The arrests in Orang are expected to facilitate further investigations into the origins and distribution channels of the contraband.
The apprehended women are presently undergoing interrogation as part of the ongoing probe. Legal proceedings under the stringent Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act are anticipated to follow. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the persistent challenge posed by drug trafficking in the Northeast region and highlights the unwavering commitment of the Assam Police to eradicate it.
