In another anti-narcotics operation, Bazaarichhara Police, acting on confidential intelligence, raided a residence in Salamona village, Karimganj district.
Authorities seized nearly 1,000 Yaba tablets—highly addictive methamphetamine-based pills—estimated to be worth Rs 5 lakh in the black market.

Assam has emerged as a key transit route for drug trafficking, with narcotics being smuggled from Myanmar into Northeast India before reaching other parts of the country.
The porous international border with Myanmar and the region’s difficult terrain make it vulnerable to illegal drug trade. Authorities have expressed concern over the increasing prevalence of synthetic drugs like Yaba, which have gained traction among young users.
The Assam government has been aggressively pursuing an anti-drug campaign, with law enforcement agencies seizing record amounts of narcotics in recent years.
Special task forces have been deployed to disrupt drug cartels, and the administration has urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities related to drug trafficking.
