NEW DELHI: Union home minister and minister of cooperation Amit Shah Thursday said Modi govt is "mowing down drug cartels with full might", following a massive drug seizure in Assam Sunday that dealt a serious blow to narcotics syndicates operating in the region.
In a post on X, Shah stated: "In our vision to build a drug-free Bharat , our agencies launched operations strangling drug cartels & seized 30.4kg methamphetamine tablets worth Rs 24.3 crore while arresting three people in Assam. Our offensive against drugs will continue with ruthless force."
NCB, with Assam Police and CRPF, carried out two back-to-back intelligence-led operations on April 6, in Silchar. NCB Guwahati intercepted a car and found 9.9kg methamphetamine tablets. The sole occupant, a resident of Churachandpur (Manipur) was arrested. Later that night, another vehicle was stopped, and 20.5kg methamphetamine tablets were recovered. Two more individuals from Churachandpur were arrested. TNN
