In yet another success in its crusade against smuggling activities, Serchhip Battalion of 23 Sector Assam Rifles, under the aegis of Headquarters Inspector General Assam Rifles (East), recovered  120  grams Heroin No-4, in general area  Ngur in Mizoram on  May 24.

The operation was carried out by a joint team of Assam Rifles with 20 FIT/3 FID (DGAR FIU) along with Customs Preventive Force Champhai based on specific information.

The approximate cost of the recovered Heroin No-4 is Rs 48,00,000.

As the  Customs Preventive Force Champhai seized the contraband item,  they also detained one  Myanmarese individual.

The ongoing smuggling of drugs is a major cause of concern for the state of Mizoram, especially along the India-Myanmar Border.

Assam Rifles, rightly christened as the ‘Sentinels of Northeast’ have continued their efforts against the smuggling activities in Mizoram.
