The Mizoram police reported seizing narcotics worth more than Rs 1,000 crore during the 2025-26 financial year.
Mizoram police have disclosed that they confiscated narcotics with an estimated street value exceeding Rs 1,000 crore in the fiscal year 2025-26. The seizure was recorded as the highest drug bust in the state's recent history, according to the official statement released to the media.
The large-scale interdiction highlights the persistent challenge of drug trafficking in India's Northeast, where Mizoram has often been identified as a transit corridor for illicit substances moving to other parts of the country.
Authorities said the operation involved coordinated efforts across multiple districts and that investigations are ongoing to trace the supply chain and apprehend the individuals responsible for the shipment.
Police officials emphasized that the seizure will disrupt criminal networks and serve as a deterrent, while also underscoring the need for continued vigilance and inter‑agency cooperation to curb drug inflow.
The department will submit a detailed report to the state government and central narcotics agencies as part of the standard protocol for high‑value drug seizures.
