The Assam Rifles seized 6.86 kilograms of Methamphetamine tablets worth an estimated ₹21 crore during a search operation at Zokhawthar in Mizoram’s Champhai district along the Myanmar border on Monday. Acting on specific intelligence inputs, troops intercepted the consignment—believed to have been smuggled from across the border—before it could reach the local market. While no arrests were made, the 70,700 tablets were handed over to the Narcotics Control Bureau in Aizawl for further investigation. Officials termed the operation a significant success against the rising flow of narcotics through the porous Mizoram–Myanmar frontier, which has emerged as a major transit point for drug trafficking in the Northeast.
