The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) reported a major drug seizure in the northeast, where officials recovered 76 kg of methamphetamine tablets during simultaneous operations in Assam and Mizoram. The tablets were discovered during raids on suspected drug trafficking networks, though the exact locations of the busts were not disclosed.
According to the agency, the seized quantity represents one of the largest methamphetamine hauls recorded in the region in recent years. DRI officials emphasized that the operation is part of a broader effort to curb the flow of synthetic narcotics into the state and across India's borders.
The seizure underscores growing concerns among law‑enforcement agencies about the rising demand for methamphetamine in the northeastern states. Authorities have pledged to intensify surveillance and inter‑state coordination to disrupt further trafficking activities.
No arrests were reported in the initial statement, and details about the individuals or groups involved remain under investigation. The DRI has not disclosed whether the tablets were intended for domestic distribution or export.
The agency plans to submit a comprehensive report to the central government, highlighting the operational success and outlining next steps for continued anti‑drug initiatives in the region.
