Police fire shots to stop drug peddlers bringing heroin from Mizoram in Assam

In a dramatic turn of events in Channighat under Dholai constituency of Assam's Cachar district, police were compelled to fire two rounds to halt the advance of three suspected drug peddlers. Acting swiftly on intelligence, law enforcement laid a strategic trap to intercept the traffickers, who were allegedly transporting narcotics from neighbouring Mizoram.

 Despite their efforts, only one suspect was apprehended, as the other two managed to evade capture, disappearing into the darkness. However, the arrest yielded a significant seizure – 55 soap cases believed to contain illicit heroin, weighing in at more than half a kilogram.

The operation underscores the ongoing battle against drug trafficking in the region, highlighting the challenges faced by authorities in curbing the flow of illegal substances across state borders.

The use of intelligence-driven tactics demonstrates a proactive approach by law enforcement agencies to stem the tide of narcotics entering Assam. Despite the successful seizure, the escape of two suspects serves as a sobering reminder of the persistent nature of the drug trade and the need for continued vigilance and cooperation between law enforcement and local communities.

As investigations continue into the origins and intended destination of the seized narcotics, authorities remain vigilant, bolstering efforts to dismantle drug networks and prevent the proliferation of illicit substances within Assam and beyond.

The incident serves as a stark reminder of the multifaceted challenges posed by drug trafficking, urging authorities to remain resolute in their pursuit of justice and the protection of communities from the scourge of addiction and crime.
