Joint Operation in Tripura Nets 340 kg of Dry Marijuana

Security forces from Assam Rifles, the state police and other agencies conducted a coordinated operation in Tripura’s Khowai district on Tuesday evening. Acting on a tip, the team halted a car and uncovered a massive stash of 340 kilograms of dried cannabis, estimated at 1.74 crore rupees. The suspect driver fled, and no one was taken into custody during the raid. The seized drugs and the vehicle have been transferred to customs officials for detailed scrutiny and prosecution. Officials point to the haul as evidence of a robust smuggling network that transports Tripura‑grown marijuana to high‑price markets in neighboring states.
