In the first operation, led by the In-Charge of Abdullahpur Outpost and supporting staff, police discovered and confiscated 20 sacks of illegal Burmese supari, weighing approximately 1000 kg, abandoned at Mahmudpur, under the jurisdiction of Lala Police Station.
In a simultaneous operation, acting on credible intelligence, law enforcement intercepted a truck at Dhonipur Village. The operation, conducted by the Officer-in-Charge of Lala Police Station and staff, resulted in the seizure of 87 sacks of illegal Burmese supari, totalling around 4,350 kg, and 64 sacks of raw betel nut.
The traffickers had ingeniously used raw betel nut to conceal the illegal Burmese supari. The vehicle used for transportation was also seized.
In a parallel naka checking operation, another vehicle was intercepted at Chowrangi Bypass road, NH 6, by the Officer-in-Charge of Hailakandi Police Station and accompanying staff.
