Police in Assam’s Guwahati seized a substantial amount of heroin from Pan Bazar as part of a heightened anti‑drug operation.
The Assam police carried out a targeted raid in Pan Bazar, a busy market area of Guwahati, and recovered a significant haul of heroin. The seizure was announced by senior officials as part of a broader effort to dismantle drug‑peddling networks in the state.
Law enforcement officials said the operation reflects an intensified crackdown that has been underway for several weeks, aimed at curbing the flow of narcotics that threaten public safety and youth welfare. The police have increased patrols, set up checkpoints, and are conducting intelligence‑driven raids across key urban centres.
Authorities have not disclosed the exact quantity of heroin seized, but described it as a substantial amount that will be forwarded to forensic labs for verification. The police have also warned that further actions will be taken against anyone found involved in the drug trade, underscoring a zero‑tolerance stance.
