In a significant breakthrough against international drug trafficking, Indian security forces successfully intercepted and dismantled a major cartel, discovering over 700 kg of methamphetamine in Gujarat waters.

The operation, named 'Sagar Manthan - 4', was a collaborative effort involving the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Indian Navy, and Gujarat Police Anti-Terrorist Squad, serving as a testimony to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a drug-free India.

Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, applauded the agencies' seamless coordination and commitment. Detained were eight individuals, purporting to be Iranian nationals, whose vessel was tracked and intercepted based on crucial intelligence inputs.
