According to district police, both recoveries were made as part of their continuing crackdown on narcotics trafficking through key transit routes passing through Karbi Anglong. The seized drugs and the arrested person have been taken into custody, and further investigation is underway to trace others connected to the drug network.
The CM further stated that the state police have achieved excellent results in the war against drugs, and this operation is indicative of the stern stance of the government towards a drug-free Assam. Karbi Anglong district, with its strategic transportation routes, remains one of the priority locations for anti-narcotics operations as authorities strive to end cross-border smuggling activities within the state borders.
