Mizoram's Chief Minister has stated that drug smuggling activities have been rerouted through the state following the ongoing unrest in Manipur.
Mizoram has emerged as a new transit point for drug smuggling, according to the state's Chief Minister. This shift in smuggling routes is attributed to the prevailing unrest in the neighboring state of Manipur.
The Chief Minister highlighted that the increased focus on drug trafficking through Mizoram is a direct consequence of the disturbances in Manipur. This situation necessitates heightened vigilance and strategic planning to counter the illicit trade.
Authorities in Mizoram are reportedly stepping up efforts to curb the flow of contraband. The state government is expected to implement enhanced measures to monitor its borders and intercept smuggled narcotics.
