In a remarkably coordinated effort, the Indian Navy, Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), and Gujarat Police intercepted a suspicious vessel off the Gujarat coast, seizing approximately 700 kilograms of methamphetamine. This operation marks the second major anti-narcotics success at sea by the Navy in 2024.
The interception unfolded as the Indian naval team, in collaboration with NCB officials and local law enforcement, pursued the suspect boat and uncovered a massive consignment of meth, valued at several crores, intended for illicit distribution.
The operation is an unwavering commitment of the Indian Navy to safeguard India's maritime domain and prevent its misuse of illegal trafficking, emphasizing its role in dismantling organized drug networks operating through maritime routes.
This success is a testament to India's robust maritime security framework and inter-agency coordination. It also sends a strong message to drug cartels exploiting sea routes for trafficking.
With a steadfast focus on maintaining a safe and secure maritime environment, such coordinated operations reflect India's resolve to thwart any threats to national and regional security.
