In a significant anti-narcotics operation along the India-Bangladesh border, Border Security Force (BSF) personnel in Tripura intercepted a Bangladeshi smuggler and seized 4,000 Yaba tablets valued at Rs 80 lakh.

Acting on precise intelligence, vigilant BSF troops thwarted the smuggling attempt on Tuesday, underlining their commitment to a #DrugFreeIndia.

In separate operations on October 27, BSF also detained 15 individuals, including nine Bangladeshi nationals, during routine checks at Agartala Railway Station.

These individuals, including children, were apprehended by a Mobile Check Post team and reportedly intended to establish a permanent settlement in Kolkata after recently being released on bail.

The BSF’s intensified efforts continue to safeguard Tripura’s borders against illegal drug trafficking and unauthorised entries.
