Aizawl: Mizoram Police hauled in 414.66 crore worth of narcotics over the first six months of 2026. Officers processed 219 cases under the NDPS Act between January and June. They locked up 312 suspects during the sweep. Foreigners made up 57 of those arrests.
Methamphetamine remains the top threat. Police confiscated over 315 kilograms of the drug, worth 252.72 crore across 38 separate cases. That portion of the crackdown alone netted 62 arrests, 16 of them foreign nationals.
Heroin seizures followed closely. Officers moved on 156 cases involving 34.9 kilograms of the drug. These busts ended with 211 people in custody. Police also seized crystal meth, morphine, opium, ganja, codeine, and alprazolam during the operation.
State officials point to these numbers as proof of their ongoing fight against the drug trade. The police statement noted that the seizures reflect the scale of the menace facing the border state, which shares a "porous international boundary with Myanmar."
