This operation disposed of 39.395 kilograms of contraband as part of the department's Pre- and Post-Trial Drug Disposal Programme.
The destroyed haul consisted of 4.444 kilograms of heroin, 5.353 kilograms of brown sugar, 26.508 kilograms of ganja, 2.668 kilograms of SP capsules, and 0.422 kilograms of WY tablets. These items were collected through coordinated efforts between district police, the Narcotics and Affairs of Border wing, and various security agencies.
Inspector General of Police Ningshen Worngam oversaw the event and emphasized that the destruction serves as both a legal obligation and a necessary social step to keep illicit substances off the streets.
