Assam Police seized 10,000 Yaba tablets, valued at around Rs 3 crore, in Cachar district following a raid in Berenga Pt3 area, Silchar. The operation led to the arrest of 23-year-old Nazmul Hq Mazumdar, police officials confirmed.

During the search, the large consignment of narcotics was recovered and seized in the presence of independent witnesses. A case has been registered, and investigations are ongoing, stated Partha Protim Das, Senior Superintendent of Police, Cachar district.

In a separate operation on Friday, Karbi Anglong district police intercepted a vehicle at a naka checkpoint on Langvoku Road near Men Rongphar village, recovering 489 grams of heroin. The driver was apprehended, and further legal proceedings have been initiated.

Earlier, on December 3, the Guwahati unit of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) dismantled an international drug trafficking network operating along the Myanmar-Manipur-Assam corridor. Officials seized 6.149 kg of heroin during a riverine operation targeting consignments transported via forest routes and the Barak River to evade security.

These coordinated efforts highlight intensified action against narcotics smuggling in Assam and the broader northeast region.
