The seized yaba pills are thought to have a market value in the crores. In the meantime, two drug dealers were detained by the police in connection with the discovery. 

Moreover, Himanta Biswa Sarma, the chief minister of Assam, praised the police's efforts in capturing the drugs. While appreciating their efforts, the CM tweeted, “@cacharpolice recovered 50 packets containing 5 lakhs yaba tablets from a consignment coming from Myanmar via a neighbouring state at Bagador, Silchar. Also apprehended two accused. Great work @assampolice. Keep it up.”

The Cachar Police confiscated up to 150,000 Yaba tablets from Silchar earlier on March 23. The market value of the confiscated tablets was reportedly estimated at Rs. 15 crore. The tablets were taken from a high-end car. Police detained the massive shipment from a vendor by the name of Lalswamalina.

Assam Police, on March 22, seized fake gold items weighing over five kilograms and detained two in Morigaon district on charges of smuggling. An operation was carried out at Nellie in Jagiroad in the Morigaon district of Assam based on specific inputs of a possible smuggling attempt.

 Officials were able to recover three boat-shaped pieces of gold from the two men's possession during the operation. After careful examination, it became clear that the seized items were fake and not genuine gold. The entire seizure, according to officials, weighed approximately 5.4 kilograms.
