Police in Jirania, Tripura, confiscated a substantial amount of cannabis during a recent operation, underscoring ongoing anti‑narcotics efforts.
Police officials in Jirania, a town in Tripura's West Tripura district, reported the seizure of a large quantity of cannabis during a routine anti‑narcotics operation. The drugs were recovered from a vehicle intercepted on a local road, and the seizure has been described as one of the biggest in the area in recent months.
According to a statement released by the Jirania police station, the confiscated cannabis will be handed over to the state drug control department for proper disposal. The police emphasized that the operation is part of a broader crackdown aimed at curbing the trafficking and consumption of illicit substances across the state.
Law enforcement agencies in Tripura have been intensifying surveillance and raids after a rise in drug‑related incidents was reported last year. The recent seizure is expected to send a strong deterrent signal to smugglers operating in the region, officials said.
