Silchar, November 14: In a major crackdown on drug trafficking, Assam Rifles and the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Silchar, seized approximately 20 kg of WY tablets, valued at around Rs 60 crore, from a dumper truck in Cachar district. One person was apprehended during the operation.
The joint operation was conducted in the Borkhola area after the dumper, reportedly travelling from Mizoram towards Assam, allegedly attempted to evade interception by the security team.
Following a chase, the joint team managed to intercept the vehicle and bring it to a halt.
During a search, officials recovered approximately 20 kg of WY tablets concealed inside a specially constructed compartment within the dumper truck. The seized contraband is estimated to be worth around Rs 60 crore.

The tablets had been concealed in a specially designed cabinet inside the dumper, apparently to avoid detection during transportation. The recovery of such a large consignment has highlighted concerns over the movement of narcotic substances across the Mizoram-Assam route.

The apprehended individual, along with the seized WY tablets and the dumper truck, was handed over to DRI Silchar for further investigation and legal proceedings.
Further details about the suspected drug trafficking network and the involvement of other individuals are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses.
