In a significant stride in its war against narcotics, the state police have seized drugs worth over Rs 400 crore and arrested 1061 individuals involved in the illicit trade over the past five years.
Social Welfare Minister Paul Lyngdoh has expressed confidence that the state will triumph over drug trafficking, drawing parallels with its past success in quelling insurgency just by using its own police force, without calling in the army, unlike other states in the region.
