Aizawl: Mizoram Police hauled in 77.15 crore worth of narcotics throughout September. They made 29 arrests during the month. Officers registered 29 individual cases across the state to handle the volume of contraband. The busted suspects include six Myanmar nationals, with others hailing from Manipur.
The haul is massive. It includes 78.746 kg of methamphetamine worth 62.99 crore. They also grabbed 8.112 kg of morphine valued at 8.11 crore and 2.922 kg of heroin worth 5.84 crore. Officers recovered 3.7 kg of opium worth 18.5 lakh and 4.22 kg of ganja valued at 2.11 lakh.
Operational data shows specific hot spots. The Champhai district turned up 25.646 kg of methamphetamine. Saitual district saw two separate cases netting 18.194 kg and 12.746 kg of the same substance. Additional seizures occurred in Kolasib, where police found 1.618 kg of heroin, and Lawngtlai, where 4.22 kg of ganja was confiscated.
The department is calling for backup. They want citizens to report trafficking to village councils, the government, the Young Mizo Association, and local non-governmental organisations. Officials emphasized that "cooperation between law enforcement agencies and local communities remains important in tackling the drug menace." Police view these busts as a direct push to break the state's drug flow.
