Guwahati: Dhing Police and Ahomgaon Police arrested two suspected drug traffickers during a joint operation in the Lalipathar area of Assam's Nagaon district late on June 17. The raid, which was supported by the Village Defence Party, followed specific intelligence reports regarding illicit activity in the region.
