The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) confiscated 232 kilograms of methamphetamine during a recent anti‑drug operation in India's northeast.
New Delhi – The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence announced that its teams have seized 232 kilograms of methamphetamine as part of a coordinated crackdown on narcotics in the northeastern region of India. The haul, described as one of the largest in recent months, was recovered during simultaneous raids across multiple locations, though specific states were not disclosed.
Officials said the operation reflects heightened vigilance against the growing trafficking of synthetic drugs in the area. The seized quantity is expected to be forwarded to forensic laboratories for further analysis and legal processing.
The DRI has not released details about arrests or the identities of the individuals involved, but it emphasized that the seizure will disrupt supply chains and serve as a deterrent to future smuggling attempts.
Authorities plan to continue monitoring drug routes that link the northeast with neighboring countries, aiming to curb the influx of illicit substances.
The incident underscores the central government's focus on strengthening anti‑drug measures in regions that have become vulnerable to organized crime networks.
