In yet another notable outcome of our relentless War on Drugs, an exemplary joint operation between the diligent Champhai Police and the valiant 42nd Assam Rifles has once again dealt a severe blow to the illegal narcotics trade. Last night, on the 14th of July 2023, a crucial operation was carried out as part of our unyielding commitment to combating drug trafficking in the region.
In a strategic move to curb the flow of illicit substances, the joint team conducted a meticulously planned random checking at the outskirts of Zote village on the Zote-Bulfek (Myanmar) Road. This area has been suspected to be a hotspot for drug smuggling activities, making it a prime target for this well-coordinated operation.
During the thorough search and inspection, the law enforcement team made a significant discovery. They successfully uncovered and seized a substantial quantity of heroin, totaling 73 grams. This illicit stash was found concealed within six soap boxes, cleverly attempting to evade detection.
The alleged culprit, identified as Lalvulliana, a 40-year-old resident of Kahrawt in Champhai, was promptly apprehended at the scene. The swift arrest of the individual responsible for the illegal possession of these narcotics will undoubtedly have a considerable impact on the drug network’s operations in the region.
In accordance with our stringent legal framework to combat drug-related offenses, a comprehensive case has been registered under the provisions of the 21(b)/25 ND&PS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) Act at the esteemed Champhai Police Station. This legal action ensures that all necessary steps will be taken to bring the offender to justice and disrupt the drug trafficking chain.
Following the seizure and arrest, a meticulous investigation is now underway. Every lead and clue will be diligently pursued to trace the origin, transit routes, and individuals involved in this nefarious drug trade. Our unwavering resolve in pursuing those responsible for these illegal activities is a testament to our commitment to protect our society from the clutches of drug abuse.
We extend our deepest appreciation to the joint efforts of the Champhai Police and the 42nd Assam Rifles, whose dedication and professionalism have yet again yielded commendable results in the fight against drug trafficking. This collaborative approach showcases the significance of coordinated actions to safeguard our communities from the devastating effects of narcotics.
As we continue to wage our War on Drugs, we reaffirm our determination to stand resolute in the face of these challenges. Our unwavering pursuit of justice and the protection of our citizens remains steadfast, and we will not rest until we create a drug-free environment for future generations to thrive in.
