Manipur CM: Drug Trafficking Routes Shifted Post-2023 Crisis, Now Via Mizoram

🗓 27 Jun 2026, 05:02 AM 👁 1

Manipur Chief Minister stated that drug trafficking routes have been rerouted through Mizoram following the crisis that began in 2023. This indicates a significant shift in illicit trade patterns in the region.

Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh has indicated a significant alteration in the pathways used for drug trafficking. According to his statement, these routes have largely shifted to pass through the neighboring state of Mizoram in the aftermath of the crisis that erupted in Manipur in 2023.

This change suggests a strategic redirection by illicit trade networks, possibly in response to increased security measures or disruptions within Manipur. The diversion through Mizoram points to evolving dynamics in the region's drug trade.

The Chief Minister's observation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by authorities in combating cross-border illegal activities, particularly in the context of the prevailing instability in Manipur.
