Assam Police continues to uproot the illegal drug community in Assam. Day and night the Assam Police works to put an end to this menace of our society.
Once again, two cases of drug seizure have been reported from Assam’s Hailakandi and Samaguri.
The police conducted search operations at Gastola in Hailakandi’s Sohortoli and apprehended four drug peddlers today. Approximately 3 grams of drugs were seized from the drug peddlers.
The arrested peddlers have been identified as Fotik Uddin Majhar Bhuyan, Nazrul Islam Laskar, Anam Uddin Mazumdar, and Hannan Uddin Lashkar.
Again, in another case of drug seizure, two youths have been arrested from Bajiagaon in Nagaon’s Samaguri area. A large quantity of drugs has been recovered from their arrest.
These arrested duos have been identified as Abdul Barek and Saidul Islam.
Further, the public in Samaguri had complained about massive drug trafficking being carried out in the area for a long time.
On February 8, a huge amount of drugs and psychotropic substances were destroyed by the Kokrajhar Police during a special program organized at the Chandmari ghat. During this while, around 1,477 kg Ganja, 1.28 kg heroin, and 33 tablet packets were burned by the police officials.
On the same day, a huge delivery of heroin concealed in 15 soapboxes was seized from Assam’s Karbi Anglong district, while two persons including a woman were arrested.
The Assam government has been carrying out several seizure operations to recover such kinds of drugs deliveries.
Drugs worth around Rs 500 crore have been seized in Assam in the last 6 to 7 months, which is a record-breaking seizure so far.
While Assam has clearly become a hotspot for drug trafficking and consumption, the government has been doing whatever possible to make a timely intervention before the state completely falls under the grip of drug abuse.
