SILCHAR: In a major crackdown, Assam Police, in a joint operation with the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), intercepted a country-made boat in the Barak River and seized contraband worth ₹8 crore.
The operation led to the recovery of 10,000 Yaba tablets and 1,25,000 packets of Essential Light cigarettes. The seizure marks a significant achievement in the fight against smuggling and illegal trade in the region.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma praised the efforts of Cachar Police and DRI, describing the operation as a “big win” for law enforcement agencies working to curb drug and cigarette smuggling.
