SHILLONG: A major drug racket was busted by Meghalaya police in the state capital, Shillong, on Wednesday night after a driver alerted the police. Chief Minister of Meghalaya Conrad K. Sangma, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), informed about the seizure of drugs estimated to be worth over Rs 2 crore. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Sangma said, “A major success through police-public cooperation! In Shillong, a major drug bust worth over Rs 2 crore took place yesterday night.

Many congratulations to the Sumo driver for his quick thinking and courage. He will be aptly rewarded for his honesty.”
He further, in his post, praised DGP L R Bishnoi for working continuously towards the state goal of ‘Drug-Free Meghalaya’. “DGP and his team have been tirelessly working to combat the menace of drug trafficking. Such joint effort is a glorious example of the importance of public cooperation to fulfil our dream of drug-free Meghalaya,” read the post.
