    753 Kgs Cannabis Worth Rs 50 Lakhs Seized in Tripura
    The raid was conducted on Ashadul Haque's (35) Anandapur residence, which is under the jurisdiction of Sonamura Police Station.

    Digital Desk: Authorities in Tripura confiscated a significant amount of dry cannabis, weighing in at 753 kg, as part of a significant campaign against illegal substances. The operation was carried out in the Sepahijala district by officers from the Sonamura Police Station working with personnel from the DIB, as confirmed by Jayanta Kumar Dey, the official in charge of the Sonamura Police Station, after receiving reliable information.

    The raid was conducted on Ashadul Haque's (35) Anandapur residence, which is under the jurisdiction of Sonamura Police Station. Authorities searched the area and found 16 plastic drums containing the prohibited material despite Haque's absence. In keeping with the seriousness of the crime and the government's resolve to dismantle drug trafficking organizations, a case has been brought under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

    The market value of the recovered Ganja, which is estimated to be around Rs 50 lakh, represents a serious blow to the drug trafficking operations in the area. This operation is a continuation of Tripura police's continuous attempts to combat the spread of illicit drugs throughout the state.

    The operation to suppress the illegal drug trade in Tripura includes the crackdown in the Sepahijala district. Due to its advantageous position, the state is a major hub for drug trafficking routes in the Northeast, which has led law enforcement organizations to increase their levels of enforcement and surveillance.

    In addition to taking a significant amount of drugs out of possible circulation, the successful raid sends a clear message to the drug trade about Tripura police's persistent pursuit of justice. The search for Ashadul Haque is still ongoing as authorities attempt to break up the networks that enable these kinds of illicit activity in the area.
