Security forces in Mizoram intercepted a major smuggling operation near the border and recovered illegal drugs worth over 4.88 crore rupees.
Police ambushed a suspicious car near Chhungte village in the Champhai district. A scooter tried to escape, but officers stopped it and caught three people trying to throw away waterproof bags.
Two of the detained suspects are undocumented nationals from Myanmar. Investigators stated that smugglers use ordinary cars and mountain paths to avoid police checkposts.
These details were shared in a report by the Press Information Bureau (https://www.pib.gov.in). The state continues to face challenges with illegal trade across the border.
