Agartala, July 18: Personnel from the Government Railway Police (GRP) recovered 9.5 kg of dry ganja from Platform No. 1 at Agartala Railway Station on Thursday, just before the departure of the Kanchenjunga Express.

During a routine security check, officers discovered the contraband inside seven packets concealed in two unclaimed bags located near the Jirania end of the platform. Following all required legal formalities, the ganja was seized as unclaimed property.

The estimated market value of the narcotics is approximately ₹1.90 lakh.

A case has been registered, and an investigation is underway to trace both the origin and the intended recipient of the seized ganja.

In a separate incident earlier this week, a joint operation by Assam Rifles and Tripura Police led to the recovery of a large quantity of narcotics in the Kheyerpur area. During a routine vehicle check, a truck was intercepted, and 3 lakh Yaba tablets were recovered.

The international market value of the seizure is estimated at Rs 30 crore. The seized items were handed over to the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) for further investigation.
