In an important operation against drug trafficking, Assam Rifles personnel confiscated a shipment of WY (World is Yours) drugs worth an estimated ₹60 lakhs in Manipur's Tengnoupal District. The find was made during a normal search operation on 15 November 2024 along a jungle trail near Zoumnuom.
The operation led to the retrieval of a hidden packet having 20,000 pills of WY drugs, weighing about 2 kilograms. This haul stresses the vigilant and aggressive steps of Assam Rifles in curbing the flow of drugs in the territory.
The seized narcotics have been handed over to the Customs Department for further examination and legal proceedings. Authorities will investigate the sources of the contraband and the web behind its trafficking to get those responsible to justice.
Known for their devotion to preserving law and order, the Assam Rifles have always played a key role in battling cross-border smuggling, including drug trafficking. Their actions are instrumental in securing the safety and security of the northeastern region, which is often targeted as a transit passage for illicit pills.
This successful operation not only echoes the Assam Rifles’ devotion to combating the drug threat but also acts as a warning to traffickers trying to use the region for their unlawful activities. (PR)
