Last month, Military Intelligence ECIB and the 24th Assam Rifles worked together on a successful operation based on specific intelligence about opium in the Longding area of Arunachal Pradesh.

Military intelligence sources confirmed that 1.757 kg of opium was seized from the home of SS Capt Azen Wangsu, a member of NSCN-KYA. This significant seizure highlights the ongoing fight against illegal drug trafficking in the region.

During the operation, a team from the 24th Assam Rifles and Longding Police arrested 11 people suspected of being involved in illegal activities. Among those arrested, nine were identified as Burmese citizens from Myanmar.

All the suspects have been handed over to Longding Police for further investigation.

Earlier, Railway Police personnel at Agartala railway station have dismantled interstate drug peddling racket, leading to the arrest of six individuals on Jan 24.

The arrested peddlers hailing from Bihar, were found in possession of drugs valued at approximately Rs 15 lakh, an official reported this.

The operation was conducted jointly by Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP).
